Well, I installed CentOS 7 and confirmed your observations. I also installed GNOME and
note that the gtk error messages you show also appear in GNOME. I also note that if you
change a service within KDE the actual change does take effect. Verified this by
switching to GNOME as well as issuing "iptables -L".
So, the problem is simply the checkbox not appearing.
This can be fixed by going to System Settings--->Common Appearance--->Application
Appearance--->GTK+Appearance and changing the Widget style to Adwaita.
That certainly resolved the issue. Once I made the configuration change noted
above and started firewall-config I found that a few services were checked that were not
supposed to be checked. I verified that they were indeed enabled in iptables. I have no
doubt that got checked when I was attempting to figure our what was going on.
Unchecking them did remove those rules from iptables, so I can once again configure server
firewall rule using the GUI. Now all there is to do is verify the rest of our
server's firewall configuration.
Thanks!
