My problem is entirely unrelated to SE Linux.  It happens in permissive mode 
and it happens before the SE Linux specific code in GDM is called.

If there is such a policy problem then it won't be fixed unless more 
information is provided.

There is a known bug in libsetrans (my fault), it will be fixed soon.  Maybe 
that libsetrans bug (which affects the operation of rpm) has caused some sort 
of cascading failure.

Also what does pup have to do with gdm?
