[ale] Fedora 15

[Jim Kinney]

OK. Update finished and now I can play with this thing.

Gnome 3 is kind of slicker than I thought. It will generate new desktops on
the fly as needed. The multi-hand stuff was wrong. Maybe a docs error. The
usability icon is parked on the top bar and allows for easy access to things
like high-contrast, zoom, large text and other goodies. The alt-f1 is the
key stroke to access the activities area.

It is quite different but very slick. Unlike other UI changes, this doesn't
make me think Apple is going to sue. It is NOTHING like windows 7 from the
few wretched tinkerings I saw at microcenter.

As long as the general population is passive, apathetic, diverted to
consumerism or hatred of the vulnerable, then the powerful can do as they
please, and those who survive will be left to contemplate the outcome.
