Description of problem: On login, I get: There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon. Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work correctly. The last error message was: An SELinux policy prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient (rejected message had interface "org.freedesktop.DBus" member "Hello" error name "(unset)" destination "org.freedesktop.DBus") GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): selinux-policy-targted-2.5.5-2.fc6 dbus-1.0.1-3.fc7 control-center-2.17.92-1.fc7 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log in as root. 2. Yeah, I said 'root', go ahead and shoot me. Additional info: The error message needs a 'the' before 'next time'.

selinux-policy-2.5.6-1 should have fixed all of these avc messages. A couple of problems I see though are beagle-search running as xdm_t, this looks like you did not transition properly on login?
Still happens with 2.5.6-1. No relevant AVCs, afaict.
This is fixed in rawhide.
