One thing you cannot do without: A Taskbar
Install and run: “gnome-panel –replace”.
This will give you a top and a bottom panel; the top one covered over by the default panel.
Install and run: “dconf-editor”
Edit: org -> gnome -> gnome-panel -> layout -> toplevels -> top-panel
Set option to auto-hide the top panel, and that gets it out of the way at the top.
Alt/right-click on the bottom panel and choose the Options;
set Background to “Solid Color”; choose black (rgb:000); set Style to 60% transparant.
Alt/right-click and choose ‘Add to panel’; search for ‘Main Menu’ and ‘Add’;
Alt/right-clock on the new ‘Main Menu’ icon, and select ‘Move’, than drag the icon to the leftmost corner on the taskbar.
Add other items as needed.
To startup the newly configured taskbar upon login:
run ‘gnome-session-properties’ and Add ‘gnome-panel –replace’

I’m on Fedora 15 right now and WOW! Is this a pain in the butt to set up. If I keep running into problems with everything I try to do on this crap OS, I’m just going to go back to Ubuntu. Pretty sad us Americans cant even be proud of the Open Source OS’s we put out. (maybe we truly are falling behind on everything.)

Nice document.
One thing that is left in this document i.e after adding chrome repository you have to do yum install chromium.
