This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
I tried to reproduce this on a fully up-to-date f11 instance with selinux in enforcing mode and f-spot starts fine for me. Does it still fail for you?
Looks to be working to me now as well. Hadn't tried it since rawhide. Closed.
