Yes, I run it like that on a number of machines. If you're familiar
enough with a terminal "sudo yum install @gnome-desktop" should be
enough. After a reboot you should have an option to select the desktop
at login. Let me know if you have issues.

It should work just fine, I'm not aware of any issues with 3G dongles
but I personally don't have a vast array to test with so it's not to
say there's not an issue. Make sure you have all the latest OS updates
applied and if it still doesn't work if you can include some more
details of make/model/carrier I can help get it sorted.
