That matches my experience. I can install from the LiveCD with a graphical
interface and get KDE and Mate. But I suspect that is because the LiveCD is
providing Gnome3. If I use the Minimal install DVD instead then I simply
cannot get Mate or KDE to run as desktops without having first installed
Gnome3. Neither alternative desktop will work without and both always work
with Gnome3 present.
