Correct. That's what the RPM "Obsoletes" tag shows as I've demonstrated.
In F14, package control-center obsoletes package control-center-extra.
In other words, it replaces the control-center-extra package.
The RPM semantics are clear. One package replaces another if it provides
exactly the same stuff or similar stuff that is supposed to replace the
previous functionality.

Which iis consistant to the suubjwect headewr:

computer-center-extra is no longer with us in F14

The package is called control-center not computer-center. You get that
wrong all the time - also in the subject line.

Further, it does not matter that the -extras subpackage is no longer
available, since it has been merged back into its base package. It's just
F12 and F13 where it has been split off as a subpackage -- built from the
same control-center src.rpm. It has not been a separate package with
a separate src.rpm, just a subpackage.

So, what are _you_ trying to point out?
Well I mentioned it above but you missed it. computer-enter rpm does not
correctly implement all the functionality of: computer-control-extra.

I didn't miss it. I'm fully aware of it. It just doesn't fit into a
thread with this subject line. Once more: The control-center-extra
package in F12 and F13 was built from the control-center src.rpm, then
killed temporarily during F14 development, and revived later for F14.

That the current gnome-window-properties tool gives an error dialog
when running compiz may be unrelated and due to a bug.

It will not allow you to foucus windows with mouse movements when you
use compiz under gnome. Evidently that works in KDE. I have been asking
about that problem for more than a week now.

You create a separate mail thread for "computer-center-extra is no longer
with us in F14" without pointing out why that would be relevant.

There is no gconftool
installable on my F14 installation. YMMV

Sure it is:

$ rpm -qf $(which gconftool-2)
GConf2-2.31.91-1.fc14.i686

OK, this is "solved" inasmuch as I now have "focus follows mouse."

I installed NVidia drivers because I needed them. Dunno if you will.

yum install compiz-fusion compiz-fusion-extras \
compiz-fusion-extras-gnome compiz-fusion-gnome \
compiz-fusion-unsupported compiz-fusion-unsupported-gnome \
compizconfig-backend-gconf ccsm

System/Preferences/Startup Applications
- add compiz-manager

Logout, log back in or do alt+f2 to run compiz-manager

System/Preferences/CompizConfig Settings Manager
- General Options
- Focus and Raise Behavior tab
- Uncheck click to focus and raise on click

Done! Focus now follows mouse!

Hope this is helpful.
