IIUC, you're mis-interpreting the YUM output there.
NetworkManager-gnome
doesn't have a dependancy on KDE, rather it happens to be part of the
"KDE (K Desktop Environment)" group. ie in doing a 'groupremove'
you explicitly asked YUM to remove 'NetworkManager-gnome' since its
in that group. If you had just done an package level remove, eg
'yum remove kde*' then NetworkManager-gnome would not have been removed
You're correct in that removing the KDE group attempts to remove the
NetworkManager-gnome rpm. I remembered uninstalling KDE also removed
NetworkManager-gnome which borked my laptop until I re-installed the
RPM. That's something that should be fixed.
