I've tried that as well but didn't fare any better: the display background changes for about 10 or 15 
seconds, then goes dark to display:
    Oh no! Something has gone wrong.
    A problem has occurred and the system can't recover.
    Please log out and try again.

I had assumed that it was related to the same errors I had seen from the Xephyr approach.  Messages in the 
.xsession-errors file seems to bear that out:

Yes, they're all there.  That's where I got to wondering if there was something specific about Fedora where 
I'd have to disable something that defaults to enabled, that sort of thing.
