Note: I got over that se linux blocked something regarding ck-get-x11-serv (2 times) SELinux is preventing ck-get-x11-serv (consolekit_t) "search" xdm_var_run_t. Detaillierte Beschreibung: SELinux denied access requested by ck-get-x11-serv. It is not expected that this access is required by ck-get-x11-serv and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is causing it to require additional access. Allow access: You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ (http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Or you can disable SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended. Please file a bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi) against this package.

I saw the same error when running the beta and I just encountered it again after making a fresh install of the f11 preview release.
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
Fixed by going to System -> Preferences -> Keyboard -> Layouts and selecting "Reset to Defaults" and changing settings again. Maybe changing "Keyboard model" to "Evdev-managed keyboard" would help, too.

There is some easy fix, using the UI and reselct the keyboard layout. This fixed it for me and it never popped up again (Fedora 11 and 12, though I atm can't remember if F12 had it all).
closing as WORKSFORME per comment 13.
I am also getting the same error when attempting to launch a VNC session with the same error message.
