The metacity fallback desktop on F15 is just gnome-shell lite; gnome-shell  
without desktop effects.

Your best plan B is XFCE. It's a reasonable replacement. The biggest problem  
with XFCE is the lack of PackageKit integration, so you'll have to run it  
manually every week, or so, to pull in the latest updates. Other than that,  
it's a fine alternative.
