You mistaken.  Yust try and see.

  o  with undo/redo dialog you should use Up<->Down and therefore do
     mevements by right hand or press these up/down by left hand's
     fingers.  C-z <-> C-r allows to be psessed without hand's
     mevements.

  o  Because of bug or feature of Metacity or EWMH specification this
     undo/redo dialog stays over image that you edit.  Therefore you
     merely don't see what you undo or redo (in sense you don't see
     effect of these commands) because drawing area is overlaped/hidded
     by dialog.

PS.  But for me mostly convinient Undo keybinding is `C-_'
     C-z is used by me as set-mark-command ('start selection' in another
     words :-)
