There isn't one.
nomodeset has the effect of disabling your native graphics driver and
using vesa instead, and this has the effect of disabling GNOME Shell and
using the fallback mode instead (since vesa can't support the Shell), so
it's a major configuration change.
Disabling selinux is just a handy way to workaround any issues that are
being caused by selinux.
Thanks for the explanation. So is it due to the incorrect selection of
the graphics driver ? I have used F14 in the same hardware and was
able to enable desktop effects in GNOME-2. So I thought that GNOME-3
would work.
When I analysed /var/log/X.0.log I found the following lines:
[ 33.188] (II) config/udev: Adding input device ImPS/2 Logitech

Does this has some relation to the issue I reported?
