These warnings are:
SetGrabKeysState - enabled
SetGrabKeysState - disabled
(WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (Connection refused)
(WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (Connection refused)

The SetGrabKeysState occurs about a hundred times (enabled then disabled) then 
the ACPI failed warning occurs about 40 times.  service acpid status says its 
running, no relevant selinux denials, or anything that seems related in dmesg. 
There are more updates available I'm fetching now so we'll see if it resolves 
itself.
