That's rather negative.  We want to encourage testers.

I would suggest to the original poster:

(1) Create a Fedora 18 virtual machine.

(2) In the VM, do:

  yum install fedora-release-rawhide

(3) Edit (in the VM) /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-rawhide.repo and
    change enabled=0 to enabled=1 in the first section.

(4) In the VM:

  yum update

(5) Reboot the VM.

(6) Connect to the VM with virt-viewer and run virt-viewer full
    screen.  With any luck you'll now be testing GNOME whatever in
    Fedora 19!  Remember to file bugs.

Rich.

virt-top is 'top' for virtual machines.  Tiny program with many
powerful monitoring features, net stats, disk stats, logging, etc.
