We now have updates for two of the bugs awaiting karma:

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/gdm-3.2.1.1-6.fc16
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/dracut-013-18.fc16

Please test and karma if you can, thanks! For gdm it's probably enough
to check if it works, but tests from Xfce users would be great. For
dracut you should install the update then re-install some kernel or
something.
