If gnome3 was more user configurable it would be OK, I'm still using it on my laptop with FC15.
My problems are:
no automatic login~ yes I've set the user options and they get ignored
No floating panel in gnome3 so everything has to be down from the pulldown menus
How do you switch DM to LXDE etc, there is nothing on the login pane as there used to be.
I maybe stuck in fallback mode , but how do you get out of it ?
