Hi David, My answer isn't responsive to your question: Others will be able to answer your exact question. You mentioned you've been gone from Linux a long time. A lot has happened to Gnome in the last few years, most of it not good. Gnome is now a huge bundle of dependencies such that the user is constrained on adjustments he can make to his setup. Gnome also *requires* systemd, which may or may not be an issue with you. I suggest you try LXDE, which has an interface reminiscent of Gnome2 or IceWM, and has few dependencies. You can use LXDE with any software (or lack of any software). For even faster user interface, I suggest you add Suckless Tools' dmenu to the mix. If Fedora lacks LXDE (or its Qt version, LXQt), then I'd suggest you get a better distro. Ubuntu, Manjaro, Void, whatever. If you're looking for a no-systemd distro, let me know and I'll recommend a few.
