hmmm works for me out of the box.  I am actually working on a couple
of different filesystems right now that are all based on fuse.  Fedora
doesn't ship with any plugins by default, but the fuse kernel module
is there.  Is it because the kernel module isn't loaded by default?  I
load mine in /etc/sysconfig/modules

I definitely think we need a gui to add more functionality there.  I
have remove cpuspeed from boot and the acpi modules from rc.sysinit
and replaced them with scripts in that directory.  It seems a shame
that the infrastructure was added and nothing changed to take
advantage of it.
