Description Michal Schmidt 2009-11-02 10:08:54 UTC

Description of problem:
The gnome-window-properties utility got split from the control-center package into its own package control-center-extra. Users will have a hard time finding how to configure focus-follows-mouse behaviour in F-12. At least this change should be documented in the release notes.

I suggest adding a new subsection under the section "4.1.4. GNOME 2.28":

Window preferences
The GNOME window preferences is not installed by default. Users wishing to switch to focus-follows-mouse mode should install the control-center-extra package. The GNOME window preferences will then appear in System -> Preferences -> Windows.

It is already documented here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Documentation_Desktop_Beat#GNOME_2.28

Comment 2 Michal Schmidt 2009-11-02 14:02:52 UTC

OK, I see. I'm sorry I'm not familiar with the documentation process and what "Beat" means. Does it mean it will be in the final "Release Notes" here?:

http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f12/en-US/html/sect-Release_Notes-Changes_in_Fedora_for_Desktop_Users.html#sect-Release_Notes-Fedora_Desktop

I don't see it there yet.

The wiki is the source for the content in the release notes, and conversion to DocBook XML in to RPM is a manual process.

If you look at the history of the wiki, you'll see the information was posted around 20 Oct.:

https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=Documentation_Desktop_Beat&action=history

This was after the F12 Beta notes were handed-off to release engineering.  The note at the top of the wiki page lets us know that the new content is in the package already for F12 final.

Thanks for the bug report, much appreciated; this just happens to be one of the times during the cycle when the source is ahead of the built release notes.
