Hi Leslie

Just an idea considering all the work your putting in to get old style
look back in gnome, you might consider running Scientific Linux 6 Which
ships with the gnome version you are familiar with and comes with long
term support of 8 years and is based on rhel6 which itself is based on
fedora 13. I even have a howto www.sklav.com to get multimedia support
up and running which makes for a great desktop and is familiar. This
will give you time to mess with gnome 3 and get used to it and allow it
to mature more.

PS: gnome 3 in fallback mode looks like gnome 2.3x but doesn't behave
like it in all accounts.
