I found out how to install Fed-17 [[somehow]]; I now have Gnome
that I do not prefer. I've install konsole and I have a bunch of
KDE libraries.
Q: what is the best way to remove gnome and install KDE? Last time
it messed up my UEFI {?}{bootloader}. this time I want to be
Extremely careful.

GTK is written in C, so you should have no problem with bindings. If your
build system complains about dependencies, just pull the relevant developer
package (they almost always end with "-devel", for example mypackage-devel).

:-) yeah, dumb question! Looks like the "spin" did not pick up
all of what I needed in KDE, so I'm doing the "yum groupinstall"
that Christopher mentioned.
I'm working on a program for gnome-accessibility that requires
gtk and C; that should give me more clues... .

If you know what parts you need, have yum install them. (And, of
course, any dependencies.)

Yes, when you are doing a group install (say, of GNOME) via Yum you are
only pulling a pre-grouped set of packages. All these packages are still
available on an individual basis, and you can install them individually as
needed.

I installed the "KDE spin" [never heard of "spin" before],
and
after a few hours had ssh working bi-directionally: ssh foobar
and from host foorbar I coulf ssh back.
my "last bug" is that a python program fails. It worked when I
had gnome install, so you're right. --Actually, on his temporary
desktop I have parts of both KDE and Gnome.
Is there a way of installing parts of Gnome?
thanks!

While a complete reinstall probably is the desired way to go, you can try
to simply install KDE alongside Gnome:
yum groupinstall "KDE Software Compilation"
Logout and select KDE as your desktop environment.
If you want to get rid of Gnome altogether (which I am not sure I would
recommend), you can run;
yum grouperase "GNOME Desktop Environment"

gary in that type of a situation you may want to consider
backing up
your data and do a os reload installing only kde and not gnome. although
they both can go exsist with no issues but if you only want kde thats
what id suggest
