What's the best way to do this?
Remove the yum group gnome (does this set default init to 3?), install the
yum group KDE and then set default init to 5 again (as I assume installing
KDE not during the setup will not automatically set the system to start
the gui?).

Wait for an expert answer, before you do this, because there may be a
better way. If I were going to do this, I would install KDE first, and
then remove Gnome. Possibly there is a better way to do it? (I have both
Gnome and KDE installed)

unless there's a space issue on the machine you're talking about why not
install the KDE group, run switchdesk in a terminal, set your default
desktop to KDE and not even worry about removing Gnome. There are some
dependency issues you'll run into when you attempt to remove Gnome.

Thanks, I wasn't aware about switchdesk. Using that worked fine.

And weird ones, to that. If I try to remove Gnome Desktop Environment this
results in a second dependency check that then wants to remove many
libraries that KDE relies on and then to remove KDE as well. So, if one
wants to get *really* rid of Gnome one should indeed first uninstall
Gnome.
