Yes that's what you want... check for this package:
control-center-2.8.0-12
Otherwise re-install it, SHOULD be there!!
[gianni@Blackhawk ~]$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/gnome-window-properties
control-center-2.8.0-12
I think you're still stuck on "Select windows when the mouse moves over
them" which is basically sloppy focus. I have that. That's not what
I'm talking about. Sloppy focus allows me to move the mouse to another
window (possibly partially obscured) and type into it without having to
raise it to the top.
What I'm asking for is the ability to also click buttons in the window
(or highlight text, etc) without raising it to the top. This is broken
in FC3 (and I think FC2). There used to be a way in FC1 to modify the
mouse bindings to remove the "raise-window" action from mouse clicks
within the window. It does not seem to exist anymore.
Where is the mouse binding configuration? Or is this something else
Metacity decided to ditch?
