Does not work here with F14. When desktop effects are off, my default is
to raise windows with mouse-over. Switching on desktop effects disables
the feature again. Your trick doesn't help.

With F13 on the contrary, System->Preferences->Windows does work.
However, that may be a bug (or even expected) in F14 and not related to
NOT putting the gnome-window-properties tool in a subpackage.

One might need to find out why the tool had been dropped completely
during F14 development and whether maybe it returned in a crippled form?
