Sorry, I feel your pain. Hopefully you don't feel the time was totally wasted.
I work with a little Python applet and finally bit the bullet to move
it from the Message Tray in Gnome Shell back to the System Status Area
where it belongs. Long story short I get the extension written and
working and kicked back to admire it sitting in the top right where it
belongs on my Fedora 16. Then I foolishly test it by installing Gnome
Shell 3.4 (16 has 3.2) on my Ubuntu Precise and the applet won't
auto-start! Commence with the hair pulling. A bug? A change in 3.4?
Do I install Fedora 17 to rule out a Ubuntu bug?
More on topic I started to write a HOW TO for Fedora a few months ago
thinking I could emulate the Ubuntu HOW TO:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1946486 With a Debian kernel
you can take a short cut, if you don't mind a little risk.
Unfortunately it didn't work in 15 or 16, I don't remember which.
That's because the Fedora kernel team in the kernel .config file had
made a module you need free-standing a built-in. So no go. Maybe
that's been changed with 17, I haven't looked. So I decided against
finishing the HOW TO because I'd be duplicating the link you cite.
In short when I was looking that seemed like the best RPM guide I
could find at the time. If there is a better one I don't know of it.
Nick's taking a break right now. It may be two weeks or longer before
he'd be able to compile a Fedora kernel for you.
