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:

Not sure what to do with that. I have gotten a couple of these messages
since the update.
