Dowloading latest selinux-policy and xorg-x11-server packages from
koji fix this for me:

[root at localhost ~]# rpm -qa selinux\* xorg-x11-server\*
xorg-x11-server-utils-7.3-3.fc9.i386
selinux-policy-targeted-3.3.1-7.fc9.noarch
xorg-x11-server-common-1.4.99.1-0.26.20080227.fc9.i386
selinux-policy-devel-3.3.1-7.fc9.noarch
selinux-policy-3.3.1-7.fc9.noarch
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.4.99.1-0.26.20080227.fc9.i386
[root at localhost ~]#

"grep 'invalidating context' /var/log/messages" shows nothing.

Thanks for the quick work on this!
