The following was filed automatically by setroubleshoot:

Summary:

SELinux is preventing the X from using potentially mislabeled files
(.serverauth.2592).

Detailed Description:

[X has a permissive type (xserver_t). This access was not denied.]

SELinux has denied X access to potentially mislabeled file(s)
(.serverauth.2592). This means that SELinux will not allow X to use these files.
It is common for users to edit files in their home directory or tmp directories
and then move (mv) them to system directories. The problem is that the files end
up with the wrong file context which confined applications are not allowed to
access.

Allowing Access:

If you want X to access this files, you need to relabel them using restorecon -v
'.serverauth.2592'. You might want to relabel the entire directory using
restorecon -R -v ''.

Did you attempt to login as root via X Windows?  This is unsupported.
