I suspect it will still give problems with at least the NV46 family of Nvidia chips (including the GeForce 7300 (LE)) as Nvidia has as far as I know not adressed this problem. However I can confirm that the Nouveau driver is now functioning adequately with the Geforce 7300 LE. I have been using it for the past 2 weeks: (xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-0.0.16-24.20110324git8378443.fc15.x86_64 mesa-xxx-7.11-0.16.20110709.0.fc15.x86_64 and kernel-2.6.40-4.fc15.x86_64) So if are willing to give up the Nvidia drivers you can comfortably run F15+Gnome3 with Nouveau.
