I just tried and there is a problem. Something is blocking the execution
of the service restart sometimes and I am not sure what it is. I have to
make further tests to verify it.

The workaround is just that. But you should investigate it more.

I am on F14 - opened port 22 via GUI firewall, applied it, and a new rule
showed up in config file and in iptables. Then I rebooted and all was as
expected.
You should test it on your F? distro as well and expect it to be OK.

There is no difference in enabling a service and adding a port manually
for system-config-firewall. This does not make sense for me.

I ran into a similar issue on my wife's laptop from a clean install of
F15. I opened up CUPS (621?) using s-c-f but it did not work. I added
it manually.

I haven't had a chance to see what it takes to reproduce the problem
since everything but my MythTV box is already upgraded, but from this
thread it looks like it's a real bug.
