Description Jeremy Katz 2008-10-17 17:38:44 UTC 
If setroubleshoot isn't running, sealert should probably exit to save resources
Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2008-10-17 19:27:19 UTC 
The problem is what happens when someone 

# service setroubleshoot restart

I guess the real goal would be to make the applet a lot less of a resource hog.  If we just rewrote the applet in C and then launched the python browser when someone clicked on it, would that save lots of memory?

Patches accepted. :^)

I also don't believe it should be running on all desktops, for managed desktops the applet should probably not run at all.
Comment 2 Jeremy Katz 2008-10-17 19:36:46 UTC 
If they start setroubleshoot after they've already logged in, then they get sealert on the next login.  It doesn't really feel like a case to optimize for :)
Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2008-10-17 21:59:09 UTC 
One problem with that is we want to move to a dbus type service.  

Avc comes in, audit starts setroubleshoot and sealert gets notified.
Comment 4 Daniel Walsh 2008-10-17 21:59:39 UTC 
THe real problem is that applets should be light weight.
Comment 7 Tom "spot" Callaway 2009-09-14 16:08:56 UTC 
Dan, are there any plans to resolve this? If not, please close WONTFIX.
Comment 8 Daniel Walsh 2009-09-14 19:45:21 UTC 
sealert is now a lightweight applet that starts setroubleshoot on demand.
So I would say this is fixed in F11.
