I previously used gnome-tweak-tool to change my window decorations away from the Gnome defaults. I went to gnome-tweak-tool to change them back, and I no longer see any option to change the window decorations. Apologies in advance if I'm thick headed, and the option is there and I'm not seeing it. If there's a workaround to get my window decorations back to default, please let me know. Thanks!
If "no longer see any option to change the window decoration" means you don't have a "Windows" tab in Gnome Tweak Tool then you have the same problem as me, reported here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1004615 The work-around for this is to use dconf-editor and navigate to org->gnome->desktop->vm->preferences and adjust values manually. Google for more information.

On a system I updated from F17->F18->F19, I have the 'Windows' tab (which includes Windows focus mode among other settings) in the Tweak Tool - even for a brand new user. On a system I installed F19 anew, I don't have the 'Windows' tab.
I've been seeing this random type issue on several F19 boxes too with no 'Windows' but finally had time to spend with it. 1. install new F19 box 2. yum install gnome-tweak-tool this will yield: gnome-tweak-tool-3.8.1-2.fc19.noarch from @update - this rev is the issue!!! 3. no 'Windows' tab seen 4. yum remove gnome-tweak-tool 5. yum install gnome-tweak-tool --disablerepo=*updates this will yield: gnome-tweak-tool-3.8.0-2.fc19.noarch this is from the base and works as expected 6. 'Windows' tab is returned now make the mouse focus "Sloppy" how I like it :) 7. yum update gnome-tweak-tool will update back to: gnome-tweak-tool-3.8.1-2.fc19.noarch 8. 'Windows' tab is gone again but "Sloppy" still works. 9. now for fun: 'yum downgrade gnome-tweak-tool' 10. 'Windows' is back 11. I tried deleting in dconf/user file with not luck - the issue is the update 3.8.1 [dudek@nome ~]$ strace -e trace=open,write gnome-tweak-tool open("/run/user/1000/dconf/user", O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0600) = 11 open("/home/dudek/.config/dconf/user", O_RDONLY) = 11 open("/home/dudek/.local/share/recently-used.xbel.Y58O8W", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0666) = 11 [dudek@nome ~]$ strings /home/dudek/.config/dconf/user | grep -i -E 'Window|focus|mode|Sloppy' notebook-show-tabs-mode modelines swindow-state/ focus-mode sloppy Hope this helps someone!
Same issue here. The upstream bug mentioned by Mohamed in comment #3 has a (yet unreviewed - who knows what the maintainer is busy with?) patch that Works For Me (TM) at comment #7 in the upstream bug - I now have my Window tab back and have reconfigured mouse focus policy successfully. I would presume that a similar fix would also cure the leftover "GSettings missing key" messages: [asuardi@xbox linux-3.14.0]$ gnome-tweak-tool INFO : GSettings missing key org.gnome.nautilus.desktop (key computer-icon-visible) INFO : GSettings missing key org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power (key lid-close-suspend-with-external-monitor) INFO : GSettings missing key org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power (key lid-close-battery-action) INFO : GSettings missing key org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power (key lid-close-ac-action)
For the record, this seems to be fixed in Fedora 20.
Thanks Randy - good to know. Given how F21 has a longer release cycle than it used to be, I'll likely break my current habit of upgrading at odd releases and plan an upgrade to F20 by end of April...
I don't have this problem on Fedora 20 either. One of the many things that makes me really love F20. Thanks for everyone's hard work making things better!
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.
