I have a eeePC 901 as well running F-10

It does fit for me but then I have only one user so I suspect it grows
if you have more than one.

Yes, I see that with evolution, ekiga and other diaglogs

Yes, it seems things like gnome-terminal don't see to remember the
last size so it always has its titlebar above the top panel bar.

I've never had an issue with my 901 on reboots. Have you looked at
updating the BIOS as a newer one of these might fix that sort of
issue.

Known issue. The driver needs to be re-written to be included in the
kernel upstream. There is a driver in rpmfusion.org repos. Its the
rt2860 driver.

The 901 and most of the rest of them work quite well. There's a few
known issues like 901/1001 wireless and issues with the SD card with
the 701 You might want to look at the Fedora Mini SIG and the
associated tracker bug. Any bugs you file be sure to add them as a dep
to the tracker bug.
