Description César Alba 2016-01-08 06:50:33 UTC
Description of problem:
I was doing nothing special.

I enabled SELINUX lately and I saw the side effect that KDM offers a different default than it used to (plasma) when SELINUX was disabled.

This might be the reason.
SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/kdm from 'write' accesses on the file .dmrc.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that kdm should be allowed write access on the .dmrc file by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# grep kdm /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

If you re-enabled SELinux please, fix labels on your system.
# restorecon -R -v /
