Testing sddm (F21 Feature: SDDM as the default KDE display manager instead of KDM)

[Reartes Guillermo]

It seems that sddm does not work on with SELinux in Enforcing mode at
the moment.
One must set SELinux it to Permissive mode and then also restart SDDM
via 'systemctl restart sddm.service'.

When one boots with SELinux set to Enforcing (via /etc/selinux/config):

* SDDM launches ok.
* Switching to another VT works ok.
* "Shutdown", "Reboot" buttons do not work.
* One cannot login with any user. Enter does nothing.
* Setting SELinux to permissive via 'setenforce 0' on another VT has no effect.
* With SELinux set to permissive via 'setenforce 0', restarting
sddm.service via systemctl makes it work.

When one boots with SELinux set to Permissive (via /etc/selinux/config):

* SDDM launches ok.
* Switching to another VT works ok.
* "Shutdown", "Reboot" buttons do work as expected.
* One can login normally with any users and logout returns to SDDM correctly.
* Setting SELinux to enforcing via 'setenforce 1' on another VT has no effect.
* With SELinux set to enforcing via 'setenforce 1', Restarting
sddm.service via systemctl makes it to not to work.

Cheers.
