The great thing about Linux is that the desktop is not wired into the
system. The great thing about Fedora is it supports and packages many
desktops.
So
yum groupinstall Xfce
exit to the graphical login, set the desktop type in the options to Xfce,
log back in.
Xfce is a traditional desktop, complete with sharp edges you can cut
yourself on rather than a padded cell like Gnome 3. It is actually more
configurable than Gnome 2.x in many ways as well as a lot faster and
lighter on memory.
If you really want everything to just get out of the way and don't need
the user niceness stuff you might also want to look at Enlightement
yum search enlightenment

e17 will be removed from f16 because of a lack of maintainer for it
unfortunately (afaik it has been orphaned). because of that id
recommend at this point aswell to try xfce and/or lxde for a serious
work environment.
kind regards,
