Figured it out. There are two system-config-network's:
system-config-network-tui (text mode)
system-config-network (graphics mode)
FC14+ only installs the "tui" version, which has
the name /usr/bin/system-config-network, which also
causes confusion.
Solution:
yum install system-config-network
/usr/bin/system-config-network will now give you
the graphics mode.

Don't bother uninstalling "tui", it is a dependency for the
"non-tui" version.
