I disliked the panel-on-top with gnome-shell; the first thing I always
do under older GNOME is move the top panel to the right and set the
bottom panel to auto-hide. Wtih 16x{9,10} monitors, vertical screen
space is the premium.
I hope more configuration tools are written; gconf/dconf are no better
than MS's registry (as somebody else pointed out, changing greeter
config is a PITA).
I'll look at fallback mode, but I'll probably give XFCE a try.
IMHO one impediment to the perpetual "next year is the year of the Linux
Desktop" is the seemingly constant desire to chuck everything and
change, often just for the sake of change. On the Windows install or
two I have to use, I always switch back to the "Windows Classic" look
because it works. That's an interface MS introduced over 15 years ago,
but they still support it (IIRC it is still the default for server
installs).
I hope the problems you describe are not true :-)
I just shyly executed:
$ yum grouplist | grep -i XFCE
XFCE
XFCE Software Development
There is another option.

I am just wondering I we petitioned them to take care of a few problems ...
Perhaps they are Fedora and GNOME users too ..., even watching this list ...
If they were unconvinced, we can mention SELinux as well ... I am sure they
will then :-)
