Should I buy body only for GH2?

Just lookin' for some input...

If I were to buy the GH2 body only from Panasonic Direct, being my first Panasonic camera with no 4/3 lenses, would I encounter any problems just rolling with an adapter for my Canon FD lenses?

The reason I ask is it seems Panasonic Direct is the only site right now that has a somewhat steady supply of the GH2 body, and they don't do lens kits (at least that I can see). I would use my FD lenses primarily anyway, but I thought I'd read somewhere a while back that when using the FD adapters, you need a Panasonic lens attached initially to the body to change a setting relative to using the FD lenses.
 
I don't see any problems with that if you don't mind doing all manually lens controll. I use Nikon lenses with the AF-100 and they work great.
