Never did this and I don't know if gnome and kde can coexist on the same system. What I would try would be: Boot in recovery mode, remove KDE launching urpme task-kde and then install gnome launching urpmi task-gnome.

In any case, in order to avoid system crashes, I highly recommend to try first whatever procedure you want to try on a virtual machine first.

Hola,
si quieres utilizar gnome-classic, la opción más racional es instalar Rosa Fresh R7 edición gnome, que viene con gnome 3.16.
Una vez instalado, desde la pantalla de login seleccionas gnome-classic.
Ahora bien, si instalaste Rosa Fresh R7 edición kde y, desde esta instalación deseas utilizar gnome-classic, deberás primero instalarte el escritorio gnome completo, y una vez instalado, desde la pantalla de login seleccionas gnome-classic.
Para instalar el escritorio completo, la orden es:
urpmi task-gnome
La orden que has utilizado no te ha instalado el escritorio gnome, sólo te ha instalado el paquete gnome-classic, pero seguro que falta por instalar un buen montón de dependencias.
Espero haberte ayudado.
Un saludo
