I tried this yesterday (via the F20 COPR) and unfortunately it didn't
work. After entering my credentials in GDM, the screen changed to one
with a graphical session and a mouse, but never loaded the reset of
the GNOME session. I haven't had a chance to investigate it further
yet, unfortunately.
I've successfully tried it with rawhide. On intel hw, that is. I forgot
to mention that it is probably limited to systems using intel graphics,
currently.
