However, since you bring up bugs... I tried system-config-user, and

"The user database cannot be read. This problem is most likely caused by
a mismatch in /etc/passwd, and /etc/shadow. This program will exit now".
I have no idea whether or not there's a mismatch in /etc/passwd and
shadow, but I know that my computer seems to work just fine regardless
of any such problems, and the tool should deal with it, and let me edit
my users...
Can you open a BZ for this one? Please make a copy of your /etc/passwd,
group, shadow, gshadow files, edit out any (real) passwords and attach
them (marked as private) to that bug.

I also see that system-config-nfs cuts off the two entry boxes on the
right when "Server Setting" is selected - the dialog is too small, and
you have to resize it manually
Fixed in Rawhide.

Also, usability could be improved here, and there. A trivial example is
a bug I filed in January (12 months ago):
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=145068.
A much more serious problem is system-config-packages.
Every time I open it it greets me with a friendly message:
"/media/cdrecorder1" is not a valid installation source.
I don't think I've ever seen this app work - it's been that way for at
least 2 years.

Can't really comment on these two.
