About the graphics, I accidentally got a VirtualBox Guest Additions 4.0.5 (yes, it's a development build) ISO which supports Fedora 15 by fully supporting gold release of xorg-server 1.10. It was originally posted in vbox-users mailing list some a week ago.

One thing--I don't remember if this is a new improvement or not, but I
find it automatically finds the server and gets the packages--I seem to
remember I used to have to manually enter the url.
Using network, as per what Adam says below, had my network running at
boot. ÂI like the default wallpaper too, nice choices.
As it was a virtual machine (I guess that's the reason) Gnome 3 failed
to load. Â I then enabled 3D acceleration in VBox and gave it the
maximum allowable memory (128MB), and tried again. Â(This doesn't
affect me in real life, where I do minimal installations and use
openbox, but I was curious.) ÂHowever, still no Gnome 3. ÂI seem to
remember this being a known issue--or perhaps not even considered an
issue, that it won't work in many VMs.
