What I had supposed would turn out to be a simple bonehead oversight -- how to make F15 run a usable workspace switcher -- has grown into a bramble patch, much to my regret.
In fallback mode the workspace switcher works like it did before. I am used to having certain apps in certain windows and want to keep working that way for the time being. I also can have some windows with confidential data on them at work and having gnome shell show all windows at somewhat reduced size when switching around isn't something I want as I can be working with people in my office. There may be a way to avoid this, but I don't know gnome-shell well enough to know how to.
The following command will install a lightweight window manager with multiple workspaces not disimilar to gnome2.
yum groupinstall Xfce
Hope that helps.
ps. I can't mention that it works with f15
