Summary: Please document gnome-window-properties missing in
                    F-12
           Product: Fedora Documentation
           Version: devel
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: medium
          Priority: low
         Component: release-notes
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]

    Classification: Fedora
    Target Release: ---

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.

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_Note...

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&a...

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.
