It's not "kde" group but "KDE (K Desktop Environment)".

Actually instead of using that long name you could also use the comps group identifier which is kde-desktop. The following would work just as well.

yum groupinstall kde-desktop


Yes, I don't like it :D And KDE is going through some changes, as it's not a
desktop now but KDE community with KDE workspace, applications, people...

Try to change session in GDM/KDM (the login screen). It's preferred way to
change it for user.
