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
them thoroughly yet):
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)

I am not going to fork gnome-settings-daemon. I will be happy if they will accept my new patch in this bug:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=739534

Then if https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=746592 patches will be accepted then we will have no problem - we just need to implement remaining missing things, set our defaults and patch apps that changes behaviour when org.gnome.Shell name is available on dbus.
