I'm running latest rawhide and system-config-printer "works for me":
complains about not finding libgnomebreakpad.so, but starts up.

system-config-firewall also complains about gnomebreakpad, then
prompts for root password, and then displays a grayed out window while
eating up 100% of CPU:

[root at tlondon ~]# ps algx | grep firewall

[root at tlondon ~]#

I killed the window after about 3-4 minutes of elapsed time.
