And that is not all. You then have to go thru each of the other
groupings and uncheck all the other gnome stuff. For instance, why is
it that when you choose KDE and not gnome, gnome-games is selected but
not kdegames??? I thought the whole point of choosing KDE  and
unselecting gnome was to get everything
KDE and nothing gnome.

Eh, that is not the gnome way. You have to remember choice is bad. It
confuses the user.
