I took the wild road, and just installed the two rpms that are on the
Fedora 17 repos pointed from the cinnamon site. They even work !!!
I had to force the install due to some different names in requires,
but binaries seem to work.
There are two packages, one for the cinnamon shell itself, and other
for a window manager called 'muffin'. I think it even can work with
mutter or metacity.
So I think the changes are minimal, and probably just building the
package for Mageia and giving a session file for that would be enough.
Just integration, no changes to anything else I think.
It doesn't look bad. Just an intermediate point between Gnome3 and 2.
And not so uuuuggggllllyyyy as Unity.
