Paulo:

Yes, Cinnamon is rather nice.  If I need to work under Gnome, I
greatly prefer it to Gnome 3.  FYI, I'm not sure how you installed it,
but I found a repository for it a while back.  Here is the information
if you don't already have it:

[fedora-cinnamon]
name=Cinnamon provides core user interface functions for the GNOME 3 desktop
