Tested with a fresh install from rawhide-20081016 and while booting http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/Snapshot-2/Live/i686/F10-Snap2-i686-Live.iso

 * while logging, I've captured /var/log/* and /var/log/audit/* at http://jlaska.fedorapeople.org/messages

Comment 1 James Laska 2008-10-16 23:24:39 UTC

Additional info:

 * I can manually run startx to start a users desktop environment
 * I have tried logging into gdm as an existing user, and a newly created user to rule out any user-specific configuration interference

According to an email side thread, this went away with the latest selinux updates.
