Check the logs in /var/log/ if selinux is the problem you will get a big pile of verbose error messages. If selinux on your home dir really is the root of the problem I have to ask, how did you created your home dir? Is it left over from a previous install? If that's the case it will need to be relabeled with the correct selinux settings. And typically it is helpful to have logs available when trying to debug things. fpaste.org is useful for that. -- http://www.brianlane.com
