The only thing I see that happens at the right time is this entry in
/var/log/messages:

Nov 10 13:25:53 numenor kernel: [20888.947632] type=1400
audit(1320927953.340:27): avc:  denied  { ioctl } for  pid=12966
comm="gnome-shell" path="/dev/nvidiactl" dev=devtmpfs ino=18101
scontext=system_u:system_r:xdm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
tcontext=system_u:object_r:device_t:s0 tclass=chr_file


I remember that there was a similar problem with the last release.
What am I to do? Relabelling didn't help so far.
