I will just tell the user with the the problem that it's not actually supported in fc17 even though it is there in the repo. The user has already had more luck than I have, got it to come up and not work, as opposed to not even be on the menu. 

FYI, I installed MATE from the obs/dropbox on F17 and it seems to work just fine.
