Are we? I don't think so. > There is not a control-center-extra rpm installable in F14. Correct. That's what the RPM "Obsoletes" tag shows as I've demonstrated. In F14, package control-center obsoletes package control-center-extra. In other words, it replaces the control-center-extra package. The RPM semantics are clear. One package replaces another if it provides exactly the same stuff or similar stuff that is supposed to replace the previous functionality. > If you run : yum install control-center-extra > > yum responds with: > Package 1:control-center-2.32.0-1.fc14.i686 already installed and latest > version > Nothing to do > > Which is consistent with an interpretation of the postings you sent me > that the functionality of control-center-extra has been incorporated in > the rpm control-center. > > Do you think it means something different? > > In any case you can't run System->Preferences->Windows on your machine > if you have chosen to use compiz.

In _this_ thread and with this subject line? | From: Aaron Konstam akonstam sbcglobal net | Subject: computer-center-extra is no longer with us in F14 | Date: Tue, 04 Jan 2011 13:02:30 -0600 | | Well for the computer-center-extra discussion. See link. | | http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=23 A bad link and no reference to any other "discussion". Only temporarily one either had to install the separate control-center-extra package _or_ (during the short period that the extra package was not available at all) use gconftool to alter the window preferences.
