When using Gnome Tweak Tool or extensions.gnome.org to attempt to access the preferences for this extension, a dialog window pops up with the following message:

There was an error loading the preferences dialog for Put Windows: Error: Requiring Wnck, version none: Typelib file for namespace 'Wnck' (any version) not found

you need to install ibwnck, in most cases it's installed with gnome-shell.

on my fedora 21 its: 

    $ yum list installed | grep wnck
    libwnck.x86_64                          2.31.0-4.fc21                  installed
    libwnck3.x86_64                         3.4.9-1.fc21                   installed
