Hi,
I think the Windows capplet should be removed from the main Gnome
control-center packages, and spawned off into a GnomeUITweak package
that is part of the Fifth Toe or similar.
Call me a nut, but I think the CDDB, Menus & Toolbars, and Multimedia
System Selector capplets should as well. I've been using GNOME since
before 1.0 and I never use these things, and can't even perceive of a
need to. Why are they cluttering up my life?
People who know or care what these capplets do are such a small,
hyper-advanced set of users that I think asking them to install a
separate package is not a large request.

Sorry - but focus follows mouse is so far from silly that
the word loses its meaning in context.
Let me remind everyone that this is a discussion about showing this as
a preferences capplet.
To illustrate my point, I use the following:
- focus follows mouse
- double clicking titlebar shades the window
- I don't have a taskbar anywhere on my desktop (I have a window list
menu button though, but I rarely use it: I have a big [3x4] number of
workspaces)
- I don't have minimise on my titlebar (I just have close button on
the left side, and general menu on the right—I should probably
remove the menu one as well, since I rarely use it, and it's
available with a right-click on the titlebar as well)
To get to all of these, I need to use gconf-editor anyway. I didn't
even know you could set some of these through a "Windows" capplet.
I'm not yet ready to become your average home user (to use all the
defaults), so I appreciate having these options, but I really don't
care about the "Windows" crapplet.
Cheers,
Danilo
