Very odd - once set in s-c-securitylevel (and acpid restarted) it
really shouldn't get in the way.  Check the boolean file I mentioned,
my /etc/selinux/targeted/booleans.local has:

apmd_disable_trans=1

(current SELinux policy treats apm and acpid in the same breath, which
I've argued a bit it shouldn't - acpid needs to do more).  Then check
/var/log/audit/audit.log on keypress to look for denied errors.

Unsure what you mean by locked files - you mean
ownership/permissions?  "su -"...?  I think I'm missing the question
here :)
