The Fedora 22 builds are ready for testing on that copr repo.

I also intend to try to upstream these 3 patches (I haven't analyzed

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=738562
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=745301
(Yaakov and I strongly disagree on forking gnome-settings daemon)
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1196951
