You sure you didn't disable selinux before that? Running passwd with selinux enabled didn't let root change another user's password, and if I su to my own account first, then passwd won't even start properly. Looks like some more selinux policy tweaking is needed for this all to work.
After adding selinux=0 to the boot command line, I was able to log in as before.
However, I had trouble to log out after a GUI log in. Clicking on the log out icon I had on the task bar causes the taskbar (or WM?) to freeze, such that I can't do anything useful in that X session. Ditto for Ctrl-Alt-Del. Ctrl-Alt-Backspace works and terminates the X session. So I log in again, notice that the icons are now all different from those in the previous session (it seems like I got the default Gnome icons in the first log in, and another, new theme in the second log in). When I click on the red fedora, only the last 5 options are available (from Run Applications to Log out). The first block of options simply isn't there. Ugh. I can't tell whether this is a problem with migrating settings from FC1 or menus are just missing, but either case is bad.
