Easiest way to work around this until it gets fixed is to boot in
permissive mode.

An easy way to do that is to add "enforcing=0" to the end of the grub
prompt at boot time.  You'll need to do this each time you boot....

Of course, this doesn't fix anything, just works around the issue
until a fix is available (whether to selinux or to ConsoleKit or to
....).
