Hi,
Until last week, I could install a CentOS 7 based desktop using the following approach:
Install minimal system.
yum groupinstall "X Window System"
yum install gdm gnome-classic-session gnome-terminal liberation-fonts
Install applications as needed.
This morning, the package group "X Window System" seems to have disappeared. This is embarrassing.
What happened?

Works for me, although I have to do "yum group list hidden" to see the "X Window System" group (both as available for installation, and as installed once I've done the group install invocation). "yum group list hidden" and "yum group list hidden ids" are 2 variations I only learned about recently...
Nice tip! I've added it to the Yum tips and tricks section on the wiki as there wasn't anything there on working with yum groups:

Note 'yum group list' only works on el7 whereas 'yum grouplist' works across el5/6/7 so I've gone with that syntax on the wiki.
Nice recipe, BTW, for a simple GUI install. The spacing of the font doesn't look very good in Gnome terminal though; I must be missing whatever the default font is configured to be.
