There is many ready solutions for this purposes. They are not included in fedora because of license restrictions. For example, in the review mentioned in the first post fedorautils package is mentioned. It can handle a lot of routine work one ordinary does in order to get "properly working system". However in my opinion most of this things are meaningless for work. Candy eyes are for losers.
When you spend as much time in front of a computer trying to get actual work done, eye candy, like decent readable fonts that don't make you crosseyed, or the ability to watch screencasts or listen to podcasts are essential. you can dismiss it all you want, but if I couldn't solve these problems, I wouldn't use Fedora, I'd be forced into using a Mac. I guess I'm a loser.
Ah, and the license restriction canard. I was actually expecting this one. If Fedora can't distribute this software because of license restrictions, how come RPMFusion can, and Ubuntu can, and SuSE can, and, and, and.
The sad truth is that these are political problems that other distros have solved, but Fedora hasn't bothered to yet.
