rawhide is well.. rawhide. It often will not work for everyone, but
should work mostly formost. But you better subscribe here and keep a
non-rwhide system available when running rawhide.

For me the desktop effects switch works as expected, traditional gnome
when disabled and shell when enabled. But I have not updated my rawhide
in some time, and won't be able to either for some time due to ACPI
issues with the default debug kernel. Production kernels works on the
box I have available for testing, but unfornately debug kernels do not
(hangs in ACPI initialization).
