I'm finding fallback mode to work pretty well. The main difference now is
that before I used a mix of desktop and panel icons, and now I am just
using panel icons. My desktop otherwise looks and works the same as
it did in F14 for my normal workflow.

I still want to figure out how to customize gdm, but I don't spend much
time there, so it isn't a big deal.

This is a nice way to delay making a decision between gnome 3 and other
desktop environments.
