There is a group KDE in the repositories. If you like, you can install KDE in addition to gnome. The login manager lets you choose between both. You could also install other window managers, if you want to try..

A simple way that will help you with other issues: First install yumex. Sign into a terminal as root (su -) and then type "yum install yumex". You'll then find it under Applications > System Tools > Yum Extender. This is a gui version of yum.

Now, when it starts up, look for the folder and select Desktop Environments. You'll see KDE listed there. Click on it and install. Once done, you can log out of Gnome and put in your username. Then look at the bottom of the screen and you'll see "Gnome" on a picklist. Select KDE from there and boot into it.
