Just burned a live disk of F15 and took it for a test drive. I agree with Jim...110%. Gnome3 is Gnot for me in the least. Why does it seem that Fedora is taking ques from Canonical? In my opinion it is way too geared for a newbie user with limited exposure to M$ and/or too heavy on the look and feel for a tablet edition. Rather disappointing on first look....<BR>
<BR>
First boot wasn't too smooth either. Likely issues with my dual XFX 6800 GS (SLI) GPUs -- something that F12 had nailed right out of the box! I won't even go into the UI. Couldn't even right-click to change desktop properties (or did I miss something?) <BR>
<BR>
Sorry these comments aren't very technical but if first impressions make lasting opinions...I have a very low opinion of Gnome3 after this first look. Hoping the development team gets it together for future releases.<BR>

Found it. The Fedora Forum didn't have an answer to others that had
posted with the problem, but did find a post from Jan, 2011 on Ubuntu
about numlockx (<A HREF="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NumLock">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NumLock</A>) that seems to
have fixed it.
