From this post:
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=302035
there may be a hidden yum group called "GNOME".
Try running 'yum grouplist hidden', and see what groups return? GNOME might be listed there.

Thank you. I've done this, and have found various hidden groups, and have
tried doing yum groupinstall <groupname>
Either a few packages get added, or mostly, the response is that all group
packages have been installed.
I've begun to look through /var/log/messages for the clue as to why none
of the GNOME desktops are properly loading/functioning. The list is very
long.
It begins in the following way:
Mar 2 11:06:20 MercToo systemd-logind: New session 2 of user pyz.
Mar 2 11:06:21 MercToo org.a11y.Bus: g_dbus_connection_real_closed:
Remote peer vanished with error: Underlying GIOStream returned 0 bytes on
an async read (g-io-error-quark, 0). Exiting.

g_dbus_connection_real_closed: Remote peer vanished with error: Underlying
GIOStream returned 0 bytes on an async read (g-io-error-quark, 0).
Exiting.

Much thanks again,
