Fedora Desktop on XO

Yep, it worked!  I had RPM conflicts in GConf2 (against GConf2-dbus,
both ship the same .mo files) and evince (against sugar-evince, both
ship the same evince backend shared libraries).  Also, it turns out
that evince-dvi is responsible for bringing in texlive, via kpathsea.

Here's the command I'm using now:

-bash-3.2# yum -y install NetworkManager-gnome alacarte at-spi bug-buddy
 control-center eog file-roller gcalctool gdm gdm-user-switch-applet
 gedit gnome-applets gnome-audio gnome-backgrounds gnome-media
 gnome-panel gnome-power-manager gnome-screensaver gnome-session
 gnome-system-monitor gnome-terminal gnome-user-docs gnome-utils
 gok gthumb gucharmap gvfs-archive gvfs-fuse gvfs-gphoto2 gvfs-smb
 libcanberra-gtk2 metacity mousetweaks nautilus orca
 pulseaudio-esound-compat pulseaudio-module-gconf pulseaudio-module-x11
 scim-bridge-gtk xdg-user-dirs-gtk yelp zenity
 
Total size: 152 M

After that completes, you can put "exec gnome-session" in ~/.xsession
and restart X to land in a very normal looking F10 GNOME desktop.
(I haven't tried to do much with it yet.  Sound works, at least.)

Thanks!

- Chris.
