GDM Login Failure

[James Laska]

I noticed this after recent rawhide updates.  It appeared my logins were
being restricted by selinux||audit.  $(setenforce 0) was sufficient to
let me passed the gate.  I noticed the following avc denial in my audit
log

kernel: audit(1124974394.984:6): avc:  denied  { transition } for
pid=4926 comm="gdm-binary" name="Xsession" dev=hda5 ino=1933254
scontext=system_u:system_r:init_t tcontext=user_u:system_r:unconfined_t
tclass=process

Bug#166761 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=166761)
has been filed to address this.  Please post any other debug or
workaround details you might have.

Thanks,
James Laska
