This is the number one reason for leaving FC15 and Gnome3.
My applications and and places drop downs are still in place, but I sure the perpetrators of Gnome3
are in the payroll of that company in Redmond.
All the extras that go with the G3 desktop aren't on the repos yet, not even on testing.
make sure you load gnome-tweak-tool that helps abit.
Have fun
