I think thats the easiest way.

Actually, that is the most difficult as well as the most stupid way of
doing it.

Go into Yast / Software Management choose packages and select "All of
Gnome" or whatever option in your (unspecified) version comes closest
to that.

Thanx for judging in no time. Since there where a lot of reactions on
how to do it and reinstalling will cost you only 15 minutes depending on
how you configured mail facilities etc. I think, really just think, it
could have been the easiest way.

So, then when you decide to go back to KDE you'd reinstall again?
