I've been a member of both lists since 2003. I asked here because 
I don't think this is an F14 issue. I've had variations of this 
problem across several versions of Fedora - system-settings, while 
a nice feature-set that puts all the major configuration applets 
in one convenient place, has never worked completely faultlessly. 
I had hoped that the greater pool of users on the regular list 
would have gotten me a greater chance at a reply.
