--- Comment #25 from David Timms <dtimms at iinet.net.au>  2009-11-22 07:24:58 EDT ---
There is a possibility that the above error is caused by something going wrong
with nautilus (dbus error), yet:

I also got an selinux notification (note "system-config-s" not the full name):
=====
Summary:

SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/python "getsched" access.

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by system-config-s. It is not expected that
this
access is required by system-config-s and this access may signal an intrusion
attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the
application is causing it to require additional access.

Allowing Access:

You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ
(http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Please file a bug
report.

=====
SELinux Policy Generation Tool: starts up, but is delayed by maybe 5 seconds,
giving me the impression that it isn't going to work, or that something has
gone wrong.
Actually, the delay to any form of GUI appears is: time selinux-polgengui 

real 0m11.499s
user 0m10.022s
sys 0m0.064s

My preference would be for the GUI to appear immediately on the screen, but
then show some sort of progress bar to indicate that it needs to do something
(what) before it's is ready for user input. It's especially helpful if there
are say 500 records to read, that the bar progresses appropriately (please
don't implement Knight Rider ~progress bards).

The alternate is to call that function that makes an item appear in the task
bar during the app start...
