Reverting GConf2 packages "fixed this for me".  (I noticed some new
SELinux messages that may be causing this, and reported to dwalsh
already.)

I had other issues that reverting gnome-session and
gnome-settings-daemon fixed.....

Indeed.  ~/.xsession-errors fills instantly with messagers like
those.  I did not have time yet to investigate.

It does not look that way.  It happened to me on an installation
where selinux is just turned off.

Will have to try these too when I will have a chance. :-)

Thanks,
