Yes, I saw the reason for this problem. The file_contexts listing
only assigns xserver_t to /usr/X11R6/bin/Xwrapper when many systems name
the X server X or XFree86 (mine does the latter). I assigned  the
xserver_t type to both of these files and it solved the problem.

I am now able to run X windows and even gdm, although gdm has some
strange problems. When running under it, the newrole command gets the
error message: 'unable to find user in passwd'. I do not get this
message when running under ordinary X windows.

Another anomaly: in Redhat 7.1, /dev/hdc can be a hard drive OR a cdrom
(!). The gnome desktop wouldn't start initially because the system
thought it was trying to access a fixed disk.

In addition, MAKEDEV should be assigned a type that is some sort of
system script rather than a device_t.

Thanks very much for your comments. I'll create a domain for postgres.
