For the last couple of days, gdm login fails with "Cannot start the
session due to some internal error." It fails with any session. I search
bugzilla but didn't find any recent bugs like this. Is it just me?

No, I am seeing this, too.

same here, but after a fixfiles relabel it seems to have gone away. I
installed a older version of GDM when those problems with early login
started, so i dunno if it really is a general thing of something i
broke, but the log files have the following entry;
Aug 23 21:24:58 xpc setfiles: relabeling /usr/sbin/gdm-binary from
system_u:object_r:sbin_t to system_u:object_r:xdm_exec_t

That fixed it for me too.

A me, too. On a plain FC4 I installed yesterday night.
I tried to setup early login and I got that error.
Turning on RHGB or just switching off early login again solved it.
Although I haven't yet modified startup order or xfs and syslog.

hmm i did a reboot into the lastest kernel last night with a fully
synced rawhide system and I'm not having a problem with my normal
user. If you make a fresh user and try to login with that user does
this still happen?

It happens with a new user too. It's happening for me on all three of my
rawhide systems, up to date as of this morning. The syslog says this:
Aug 25 09:22:33 localhost gdm(pam_unix)[4058]: session opened for user
gnome by (uid=0)
Aug 25 09:22:33 localhost gdm[4085]: session_child_run: Could not
exec /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession default
Aug 25 09:22:43 localhost gdm(pam_unix)[4058]: session closed for user
gnome
Starting X manually works fine.

I noticed this after recent rawhide updates. It appeared my logins were
being restricted by selinux||audit. $(setenforce 0) was sufficient to
let me passed the gate. I noticed the following avc denial in my audit
log
kernel: audit(1124974394.984:6): avc: denied { transition } for
pid=4926 comm="gdm-binary" name="Xsession" dev=hda5 ino=1933254

Bug#166761 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=166761)
has been filed to address this. Please post any other debug or
workaround details you might have.

You dont turn to turn off SELinux. A simple relabelling procedure will
probably fix this

I thought that as well and tried:
$ fixfiles -R / restore
But still encountered the failure.
