Sorry, I know it's not obvious but I've tried to document that where I 
could. For now there's just no sane way of solving the problem I mentioned 
and this is the best way to keep things "just working" for most users. FWIW, 
we're switching to rpmfusion-config-display soon that should make a big 
difference, but it's still in beta and because of school and work I don't 
have a huge amount of time to devote to it.

Note also that starting the display configuration application from the 
System > Administration has a clear option to disable the auto-editing behavior.

The description for the active parameter relates pretty closely to what you 
originally posted about though:

will _rewrite xorg.conf_!
