Yeah, I am/was seeing this in rawhide as well.

Here at least I see a crash in xwayland... 
( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1266637 ) 
then it dies in enforcing mode.

This is several real bugs. :) 

It seems if xwayland doesn't crash things work enforcing, but if it
does the fallback to X doesnt work right in enforcing mode. 

I've not yet filed the selinux bug... I'll try later today, or if you
can see what avc's you see and file it that would be great.
