./touch autorelabel
did not fix anything :(  Still see these 

Summary
    SELinux is preventing gdm (xdm_t) "getattr" to
/bin/rpm (rpm_exec_t).

Detailed Description
    SELinux denied access requested by gdm. It is not
expected that this access
    is required by gdm and this access may signal an
intrusion attempt. It is
    also possible that the specific version or
configuration of the application
    is causing it to require additional access.

Allowing Access
    Sometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux
denials.  You could try to
    restore the default system file context for
/bin/rpm, restorecon -v /bin/rpm
    If this does not work, there is currently no
automatic way to allow this
    access. Instead,  you can generate a local policy
module to allow this
    access - see
http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385
Or you
    can disable SELinux protection altogether.
Disabling SELinux protection is
    not recommended. Please file a
    http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi
against this package.
