I have a similar problem but I've noticed a thing that you could find useful: my system is a fresh install (with updates applied), with an old /home partition (I've reinstalled the system but kept the original /home); still system-config-firewall presents this problem. I noticed that if I launch s-c-f from one user it blocks just after started but if I launch it from the other (rarely used) user, it works perfectly. I hope this helps Francesco
My /home partition exists since fc7... But the user thar runs system-config-firewall is root, I can't run with another user.
Do you have assistive technologies turned on?
to Thomas Woerner: yes I have: after reading your answer I tried to disable them and s-c-f started working! I've turned them on again and s-f-c does not work anymore so it seems that this is the root of the problem. Francesco
Yes, system-config-firewall freeze when assistive technologies is turned on. I turned assistive technologies off and system-config-firewall worked well.
