Silly me:

Disabling selinux also fixes problems I was having with xvidcore
and DVDRip.  And the atrpms nvidia package causing the window
manager start on login to fail (resulting in no window frames).

This time I'm just going to leave it off, all it's ever caused me
is trouble.

(Thanks to Stephen and Kam for suggestions though)
