Known issue: SELinux blocks slim, the login manager.

This is GDM, the Gnome display manager that is dragged in via the Xfce
group.

Does pulseaudio get started in your LXDE session?

Because gnome-openbox-session and openbox-kde-session are installed with

thinks different: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=520245

Then you need to make some modifications: Ether, install gdm or
configure Slim as described at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/LXDE.
Take a look at my LXDE spin ks to see how this can be done on the
