Description fedorauser 2013-08-20 11:39:12 UTC 
Description of problem:
I'm running a freshly installed Fedora 19 with MATE.
After providing the password at the login screen (lightdm), a SELinux log entry is created and a ConsoleKit timeout appears in /var/log/messages.
I suspect that this is the reason for the ~51 seconds delay before the complete desktop appears - more details below.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rpm -qa *selinux*
libselinux-2.1.13-15.fc19.x86_64
libselinux-python-2.1.13-15.fc19.x86_64
selinux-policy-targeted-3.12.1-69.fc19.noarch
selinux-policy-3.12.1-69.fc19.noarch
libselinux-utils-2.1.13-15.fc19.x86_64

rpm -qa dbus*
dbus-1.6.12-1.fc19.x86_64
dbus-glib-0.100-5.fc19.x86_64
dbus-python-1.1.1-5.fc19.x86_64
dbus-x11-1.6.12-1.fc19.x86_64
dbus-libs-1.6.12-1.fc19.x86_64


How reproducible:
always (I can reproduce this in a seconds F19/MATE installation running in a VirtualBox)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Fedora 19 and choose MATE as your desktop environment
2. After the installation is complete enter the password at the login screen (lightdm)
3. observe/confirm the ~51 seconds delay before the destop environment appears (taskbars, Applications menu,..)


Actual results:
It takes ~51 seconds till the desktop environment appears after lightdm got the password from the user.
 
Note the following log entry:

console-kit-daemon[1565]: console-kit-daemon[1565]: WARNING: Failed to acquire org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit: An SELinux policy prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient, 0 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.25" (uid=0 pid=1426 comm="lightdm --session-child 14 19 ") interface="org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager" member="OpenSessionWithParameters" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination="org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit" (uid=0 pid=1565 comm="/usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon --no-daemon ")

and:

dbus[768]: [system] Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit': timed out


Expected results:
The desktop environment should appear within a few seconds.
