Re: Gnome-3: The complete experience

Just wondering if running rawhide would be better. I suppose its now fairly stable for casual testers like me.

That way, I get the updates the usual way. Are there any issues I should be aware of before enabling rawhide on my F14 machine? 
the worst way to learn is to unlearn

The guide here: http://live.gnome.org/Jhbuild is a bit messy and needs
to be cleaned up, but the main thing you want to do is install the
dependencies listed at http://live.gnome.org/JhbuildDependencies

Hopefully something like this should get you a bit better off:

$ mv -f ~/.jhbuildrc ~/.jhbuildrc-shell
$ curl http://git.gnome.org/browse/jhbuild/plain/sample.jhbuildrc > ~/.jhbuildrc
$ nano ~/.jhbuildrc
...
$ cd ~/gnome-shell/source
$ ln -s gtk3 gtk+-3
