I had a working FC1 with /home in its own partition. Then I installed
FC2 (I didn't do an update) and kept my /home un-formated.

And it was a catastrophe :( GDM complained that it couldn't see my home
dir (/home/julien), which, really, existed.

I then re-installed FC2 but disabled selinux (through the firewall
configuration tool in anaconda), and now everything is OK.

even if it's really where the problem lies.
