how to remove Gnome and leave or install KDE?

[Gary Kline]

	last week I tried to install the ubuntu 12.0.1-Server.  I was tried
	of having the new bootloader mess up my loading fedora.  The CD 
	asked me some questions that my F-17 CD did not ask, then it said
	to reboot.  I did and without any load errors, it booted into
	what appeared to be Ubuntu.  After loading the new files and being 
	directed to reboot again, it loaded at fedora 17.  Since then I've
	had no problems with the UEFI loader.  

	I *did* have to get port 22 working to ssh into my desktop, and
	other odds and end.  Unlike ubuntu, I couldn't play a DVD movie 
	without adding some disallowed packages. Etc....  But for my last
	trick, I want to get rid of gnome and install the kde desktop.
	I have konsole installed because I hate that flashing cursor in 
	"terminal"... so I have several KDE libraries.  What is the safe
	command to remove gnome?  [there are a bunch of gnome utilities I
	use, but for the most part, I prefer the other desktop.

	thanks for some clues!
