Saw another thread that selinux was causing Gnome 3 to go back to fallback mode.   Machine was working correctly auto logging in.  I have not seen any sealerts, but by using enforcing=0, machine works correctly thereby confirming my suspicions and the the ones in the thread, but can't remember which one.  

I update the machine on a regular basis and it has worked, but I have to restart it several times so that X comes up, otherwise it just appears to hang :(

Thanks,
