I get this too, Brent. Here's a really lame patch that bandaids over the problem.
Created attachment 95413 [details] Quick patch
That patch doesn't really fix the problem. I've committed a fix, which should appear in redhat-config-xfree86-0.9.14-1.

When will redhat-config-xfree86-0.9.14-1 be available? I've just checked up2date/rawhide, and nothing (14:53 EST). The most recent version I have is redhat-config-xfree86-0.9.13-1, and the problem still persists: no action from the Display Manager.
Rawhide seems to be down at the moment. Try downloading from ftp://people.redhat.com/bfox/redhat-config-xfree86-0.9.15-1.noarch.rpm
Got it and installed it (~xfree86-0.9.15-1.noarch). It works, but no longer "on the fly" you have to logout, and it no longer asks you if you want to test the selected configuration, or accept it... :-(
Elton, redhat-config-xfree86 never worked "on the fly". It can't. It has to modify the /etc/X11/XF86Config file, which is only processed by XFree86 at runtime. Any changes to the file require XFree86 to be restarted to take effect.
