So I installed F16 Beta on a low end box and deselected GNOME and
selected XFCE in the installer. System installed but gdm does not
complete its startup. Looking in the error messages in /var/log/gdm I
see a lot of repeating error messages:

** (gnome-settings-daemon:1125): WARNING **: Connection failed, reconnecting...

setting the system to setenforce 0 and killing 1125 did not fix the issue so I
don;'t think it is selinux related. There are messages in /var/log/messages
stating:
