Funny thing is there was no avc denial records in /var/messages so I had no idea that selinux was the cause. When I started up today. The boot up messages said it would have to relable my system. This seem strange. I have noticed the following problem with X windows. I set a Virtual 1600 1280 in my xorg.conf file but when I started X the Gnome panels were blank and did not fit the screen size. I had to remove the Virtual statement to get the default screen size of 1280 by 1028 then the gnome panels showed up with icons. Not having virtual larger screen sucks. I like to have two gnome terminals open which the virtual size allowed me. This is definitely a change from FC3.
