Really? So can we 'assume' that this will be automagic for Joe/Jane
Average_user when they upgrade from a previously working just fine
Fedora release using Gnome 2.x?
Well... this is one of the things we want to get out of the GNOME 3

need to know what hardware you're using so we can make sure it's handled
appropriately. Filing a bug with a smolt profile would help with that,
or check out the GNOME 3 test day page and enter your data there.
