must need more sacrificing...

The graphical boot never came back for me, so I'm not sure what I did to cause that. In general practice, though, I'd say 90% of my boots are after unclean shutdowns, since any other time I'm usually just leaving the machine suspended (to mem... to disk doesn't like me yet). I have done a clean shutdown and reboot with no graphical goodness, though, so I don't know what's up with that.
Yeah, the system-config-* scripts should pop up a password box, and they did, but they also crashed right after that. I think it was a combination of the SELinux stuff and a bug in the scripts. Upgrading to all the latest RPMS helped, but with the new kernel I just turned off SELinux.
