It seems that if you have a common home directory that you reuse from fedora version to fedora version, you cannot automatically go into the gnome shell in F15 Alpha gnome 3. I have a home directory that has been around since about Fedora 6. I don't know what all you have to eliminate--I just cleared out all gconf* gnome* gtk* metacity folders and now Fedora 15 RC2 goes into the shell when logging on to the desktop. Before I had to issue a gnome-shell --replace in a terminal.
I wonder what other problems reusing was/is causing?
This is probably just https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=679326 , and you don't hit it with a clean configuration because less stuff is happening at startup so gnome-session-is-accelerated manages to complete in time.
