We have a couple of bleeding edge stuff for this case too, so bleeding 
edge that is probably can't be found on any other distro:

- as you may know, GDM is rewritten. It was so bleeding edge that it was 
not included in GNOME 2.22, which reverted in the last minute to the 
previous version. The Red Hat Desktop team is confident that the 
additional time will allow them to fix the last remaining issues. I have 
not looked at the layout yet (will do after the Beta, but I don't have 
an Eee anyway) but it is supposed to scale much better. It would be 
useful is some Eee user will test that and report the bugs, if any.

- another brand-new feature form the Desktop Team is multiresolution 
backgrounds. That is, the Art Team can provide the desktop wallpaper as 
an XML linking to multiple images, appropriate for various screen sizes. 
I will try to take care of that so we do not forget 800x480 as one of 
those sizes.

I think we have enough facts that until the release day will allow us to 
spin a positive image for Fedora's Eee usage.
