You can try to disable SELinux in /etc/selinux/config or in

In /etc/selinux/config, change SELinux to DISABLED.
OR
In /boot/grub/grub.conf, add selinux=0 to the kernel line.
E.g. kernel /vmlinuz ro root=/dev/sda2 selinux=0
You shouldn't start X server or login to GNOME as root.
My thanks for the prompt reply. I am not certain why I would want to disable
SELinux as it clearly is part of the Fedora package and is trying to tell me
that something isn't right.
Yes, I know I should not start X server or login as root ... and that is not
my normal work habit. But I would expect that I should still be able to do
such and not have SELinux bark unless there was something wrong. It is the
"what is wrong" that I am trying to understand and correct.

Well, for home or personal use systems, you don't really need SELinux.
SELinux is for mission critical servers.
Or unless you work for defense or intelligence agencies, then your
laptop needs to be secured with SELinux and high grade encryption.
I have to deal with NDAs and those organizations don't like to hear "I
don't use SELinux". Mission critical is not an issue, but doing the
proper steps to show I am not disabling security is a necessary.
Plus, an error is an error and I personally don't like pop-ups telling
me there is something wrong (smile)
Thanks,
