EDIT: Fedora doesn't let you choose where to install the bootloader with the GUI installer any more either, which prevents me from running it since I have to use a 3rd party bootloader that only recognises bootloaders on the first partition.

Fedoraproject.org makes it very clear that Fedora is focused on free software and it has never suggested or installed proprietary drivers ever since it was created over 10 years ago. There are other options like http://sourceforge.net/projects/postinstaller/ if you want to deal with third party drivers. GRUB 2 has deprecated the option to install the bootloader into any partition. That isn't a Fedora specific change.

You see the problem with this scenario, it just doesn't work.

How did you download Fedora in the first place? Use the same connection to download the drivers as well. Again, this isn't a new change. Fedora has never offered proprietary drivers and never will. There are other distros based on Fedora that do that sort of thing like Korora if you want that but Fedora itself will remain focused on free software.
GRUB2 upstream won't be overridden within Fedora but I personally use gummiboot and syslinux (extlinux) is available as a choice as well
If you want more fine grained control, use kickstart.

Still no icons in menus / gconf-editor not working?
I know they're enabled in gconf-editor by setting: desktop/gnome/interface buttons_have_icons and menus_have_icons https://ask.fedoraproject.org/question/23116/how-to-fix-missing-icons-in-program-menus-and-context-menus/?answer=23117#post-id-23117 https://ask.fedoraproject.org/question/23116/how-to-fix-missing-icons-in-program-menus-and-context-menus/ But it doesn't work on my current install. Does anyone know how to fix this? Fedora 20 (F18 -> fedup to F19 -> fedup to F20). It used

gconf is not used in GNOME Shell at all. GNOME 3 uses dconf (and gsettings) and you should either use dconf-editor or gsettings in the command line though the particular tweak you are trying to make may not be supported in GNOME 3 anyway.
