Hmm... I don't think it's just your problem. I'm having similar issues. After the latest update, Emacs refuses to run in X (runs okay in a term window with "emacs -nw") and Firefox keeps hanging randomly. There doesn't appear to be any error message at all. If I start Emacs from a menu pick or a panel button, it displays the "Starting Emacs Text Editor" application button in the lower panel, but that eventually goes away and no window appears. If I try to start Emacs from a term window ("emacs"), it just hangs forever. Firefox keeps hanging randomly, too. "setenforce 0" doesn't seem to help. For whatever reason, "sudo emacs" works. It's definitely some sort of permission problem. I get no selinux error that I can see. Looking in /var/log/secure, the only thing that looks interesting is: Mar 24 22:35:47 droberts gdm-session-worker[3562]: gnome-keyring-daemon: couldn' t lookup keyring component setting: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash.
