I have run some successful tests.

1. Install kde Live Beta-4, booted up and run yum update to get current.
2. Ran yum  group  install  gnome-desktop  with no problems.  Rebooted 
and login to gnome desktop.

Some group installs have a problem.  For example, after a Live 
Workstation Beta-4 install, try running
yum  group  install  webserver and you get conflicts.  If you doyum  
group  info  webserver you will see that it includes 
fedora-release-nonproduct and you have fedora-release-workstation installed.

Solution, use yum group install webserver --exclude=fedora-release\*

Now you might believe that yum  group  list would show all groups ... it 
does not.  Give the follow a try:

yum  group  info  gnome\*
yum  group  info  kde\*
yum  group  info  xfce\*
yum  group  info  cinnamon\*
yum  group  info  lxde\*
