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.

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.

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.

Sure it is:

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