well I installed fedora on some peoples boxes that where (and are still) 
using windows and nobody complained about things like the panel layout.
what keyboard shortcuts? the only thing thats different in the default 
config is that the super(windows) key does not open the menu.
but everything else is the same as in windows:
ctrl+c/x/v
alt+f4
alt+tab
etc.
