Gnome isn't X. Gnome is an application (or set of applications). I'd reckon that it's operation would be subject to SELinux as much as any others. I have noticed SELinux be a slowdown on some machines, though it's ages since I tried that test to remember which things it was obvious with. -- (Currently running FC4, but testing FC5, if that's important.)
