First experiences with F19

[Joachim Backes]

Hi all,

I installed the F19-Alpha-TC2/x86_64 from the Live-CD inside VirtualBox.

My very first experiences:

0. Install was done flawlessly inside VirtualBox

1. Setting the keyboard to "German-nodead-keys" in the correpondent
spoke during install, but if running the installed system on some tty,
the keyboard is still US. I had to execute "loadkeys de".

2. I used gnome-shell as graphical desktop. Trying to logout from such
an open gnome-shell session failed: No logout, the session remains open.
A workaround was for me: pkill gdm.

3. Additionally, I installed the cinnamon desktop. But if I tried to
login, I failed with the well, well known message: "Oh, no, something
has gone wrong...".
