First let me say that I appreciate all the help on this list very much!!!!!

Makes sense... I think you're saying this is not the underlying problem for the gdm / desktop / boot issues, right? If so I'd like to get to a clean selinux boot before addressing this type of thing. > I couldn't find the source from suse(although I'm sure its there), so I just grabbed a > copy from tresys...while building the source from tresys I sometimes will hit a syntex > error(this time I did) with checkpolicy and/or checkmodule I'm now able to build policy from the source obtained from the OpenSuse 11.2 repository.

I could boot cleanly to a desktop before relabeling (with everything as file_t). Once I relabeled with fixfiles, runlevel 5 would fail and I'd be dropped back to a console at runlevel 3. > then once I was able to get a clean boot(even with the "targeted" dbus > issue) If I can get to that point I think I'll be in business.
