Almost every Fedora guy/gal knows that its possible to run Gnome-shell on F14 with Jhbuild. I was hoping for something more - Running entire Gnome3 via the Jhbuild system just the way Gnome-shell sand-boxing works. I've been told that its possible but then I have tried it and failed :doh:. Now I can't even compile Gnome-shell anymore so experiencing the future F15 is not happening.

Does anyone know how to achieve this (compile Gnome3 and Gnome-shell ... and have them run at logon) ... So that its a near-F15 experience or am I just dreaming? I'll be happy to post my current jhbuild errors for anyone who knows a way around this kind of situation.

Help ... somebody

It would be easier to grab the latest F15 development live-cd, or even install it to a separate partition and keep it updated independently.

Yeah ... why not. I think I drop it into an external (USB) Drive and leave F14 on the box. Thanks. I'll leave the jhbuild stress for the geeks.
