Many thanks for the rebound, Brian.
Really didn't notice which of the ?dm programs was there before I
started but I definitely see gdm there after the Gnome install.
And before anybody gets too concerned, I'm working on a copy of a
copy... I may delete this copy and gen it again to retrace my steps
more carefully. That yum erase kde-runtime went as apparently cleanly
as it did is a good start. I need to spend more time on the system post
erase, pre groupinstall to take better stock of what is there.

Did removing KDE get rid of sddm but now gdm/gdm3 is not there to take
its place? Been a while since I've messed w/ RHEL/CentOS, but some
distros keep the xdm (login manager) out of the desktop metapackages so
they don't collide (if you want a machine capable or running either KDE
or GNOME).
Just my $0.02 (aka "guess")
