Joe,

I took your advice, and installed XFCE on F15 and it is working better
than great.  Very fast, very intuitive, and the users were very pleased.
So far no crashes or white screens.  Everything is working perfectly.
For all of you trying to use gnome3 and are tired of it, XFCE is a great
alternative.
