Well I mentioned it above but you missed it. computer-enter rpm does not
correctly implement all the functionality of: computer-control-extra.

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. There is no gconftool
installable on my F14 installation. YMMV
