I have this same problem on two different Fedora 11 machines:

It is extremely frustrating. If there is a workaround, please let me know.

This dialog is kind of confusing. You have to change something, and then the "add" or "modify" button will be enabled. So e.g., if you change the "From format" to "DVI" and "To format" to "LaTeX (plain)", then the Add button will be enabled, so that you can add a DVI-->LaTeX converter (??). Alternatively, if you click on "DVI --> Postscript" and then add something in the "Extra flag" box, then the Modify button will be enabled.

As I said, I know this is kind of confusing, but we haven't found a better system.
