system-config-httpd vs /etc/httpd/conf.d

In the recent past we have recommended system-config-httpd to novice
administrators to assist them in setting up virtual hosts. It is allot
easier to use and understand than the 'webmin' equivalents (IMNSHO).
However, with a fully updated FC5 this no longer works. I am not
certain which version of what broke it.
The symptoms are:
1. system-config-httpd creates a monolothic
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file.
2. The virtual hosts (by name) are ignored.
3. Cut and paste the virtual hosts section(s) into file(s) in
/etc/httpd/conf.d and all is well.
4. No means of configuring system-config-httpd to use
/etc/httpd/conf.d is apparent.
Any advice, or good options (NOT webmin)?
