I have similar problems but find if I persist in display configuration applet I
can eventually get what I want. It is frustrating though and I have other
problems such as if I suspend while docked the monitors never wake up and I end
up with no display. I assume these are known issues being worked and perhaps
related to the Qt issues Martin Graesslin's recent post so I'm not pushing too
hard atm.

Right click on the logo and select "Application Launcher Settings", click on the
icon and select "choose" and then type fedora into the box and select the Fedora
icon.
