I remove gnome-screensaver which causes GNOME not to be installed in the 
view of the software installer. GNOME is still installed minus a few 
components that were removed intentionally. I guess if some components 
which would be pulled in using a group install are triggering the group 
listings to show that they are not present. This is regardless if every 
other package from the group is installed.

What components were pulled in when you "reinstalled" GNOME?
