Gnome and hence Fedora 15 have eliminated Gnome-2. You must now choose one of the alternate shells. KDE - modern, configurable, generally works well. LXDE / XFCE - lightweight similar to gnome 2 / configurable Gnome Shell - a tablet/phone like window system - won't run without decent 3D support - if 3D graphics not available it drops down to simpler interface. For some reason its the default DE on F15 even if not on a tablet PC. Choose one - go with whatever suits your taste - Gnome 2 has been retired so its no longer an option.
