I have been having troubles recently with installing GNOME as a desktop option along with KDE4. I have been able to complete this with older versions of OpenSUSE before, but this time, I receive errors from YaST that GNOME and KDE cannot be installed at the same time and then I am given the option with continuing but uninstalling KDE, continue but break the dependencies for GNOME, or aborting.
Is there a way to install GNOME and KDE4 side-by-side in OpenSUSE 12.1?
I don’t know how you’re trying to install Gnome, but I just ran yast through installing gnome-shell with no errors. Try gnome-shell.
You do not explain very much about how you are installing.
I would start YaST > Software > Software management and then select Package groups from the View tab. And then install KDE and Gnome selecting them from the list. Maybe I would do one by one (because much will be installed), but I guess this won’t matter. In any case, many people have both installed without reporting problems here. Thus you must have/do something different.

You are probably getting a conflict with a pattern named something like
kde-only or gnome-only, which you obviously have to remove.
