What made you decide that SELinux was part of the problem,
or did you simply disable it by reflex? Are you
getting any security alerts? When you say that X
doesn't start, do you mean that you're able to log in but
then X doesn't come up or do you mean that you don't even
get a login screen? Have you checked any of the
appropriate logs when you're logged into a console, and if
so, have they told you anything? These and more are
probably questions you'd ask your students and for good
reason: you haven't really given us anything to go on.

Saw another thread that selinux was causing Gnome 3 to go back to fallback mode. Machine
was working correctly auto logging in. I have not seen any sealerts, but by using
enforcing=0, machine works correctly thereby confirming my suspicions and the the ones in
the thread, but can't remember which one.
I update the machine on a regular basis and it has worked, but I have to restart it
several times so that X comes up, otherwise it just appears to hang :(
Thanks,
