I'm uncomfortable to tying the solution for "desktop sharing button
doesn't actually work unless you run system-config-firewall" to a
profiles system for controlling individual ports based on network.
Maybe the toggle under the hood is a profile and system-config-network
knows about profiles, but I'm strongly against a big list of port
numbers in the default UI flow.

I think that if you ever run system-config-firewall, you're a system
administrator and that tool wins, and the desktop firewall toggle
should be disabled.  How exactly that's expressed in the config system
I don't know.
