Did you unselect any packages in Add/Remove software (Pirut) list of

Look this silly. As I told you I received no prompts to confirm a
removal but I admit I unclicked a optional software line in Add/Remove
software. This is before I understood what it was doing. But again no
confirmation was asked for and others have reported the same behavior.l

A bug needs to be something reproducible. I tried this and a prompt was
given. If you can check it with a simple package and see if you can
reproduce it, a bug report would be useful along with the steps and the
yum log.

Now that I tried it I must admit you were correct. I still don't know
how GNOME disappeared but I did get notification of the optional rpms I
was adding and the one I was removing.

So I was wrong on this point.
