This comment caught my attention. My system locks up to where I have to 
telnet in and "killall -9 X" to do anything. It then resets back to the 
fedora login screen. If I try to ctrl-atl-Fx to a console the whole OS 
locks up and crashes. This occurs after usually a long time of running 
kde or gnome. I thought maybe I needed to do a clean install of FC2T2 
since I have just been doing yum upgrade since doing a clean install of 
FC2T1 a few weeks ago. I am using the default nVidia drivers and have 
not done anything yet to purposely enable the selinux stuff.

Also, I occasionally see KDE pause for maybe 15 seconds and become 
totally unresponsive to input almost like a permanent lockup (except the 
mouse cursor moves), but then it frees up. The system does not seem to 
be particularly busy otherwise. That happened while I was typing this 
message.
