In regards to MATE + Cinnamon: MATE + Cinnamon fit on F18 x86_64 DVD but not the i686 DVD. The i686 and x86_64 have different sizes (one reason was due to including the PAE and non PAE kernels). That being said Cinnamon IS broken in F19 but it is only 2 packages on top of Gnome 3.. cinnamon and muffin. We expect to have it working by release and upstream is working on a fix, in fact I made some progress last night and have Cinnamon 2D mode working. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=920320 Lots of other distros are dropping Cinnamon because of this. Let's not be THAT distro. Also after spending a lot of time the last few days trying to compose the MATE liveCD a lot of unneeded dependencies were being pulled. I think we should look at package dependencies. It seems that lots of unnecessary packages are being pulled when composing media. Just my experience over the last few days.
