Description James Heather 2010-03-16 22:10:10 UTC 
Summary:

SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/gconfd-2 "append" access on
/root/.gconfd/saved_state.

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by gconfd-2. It is not expected that this access
is required by gconfd-2 and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is
also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is
causing it to require additional access.

Allowing Access:

You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ
(http://docs.fedoraproject.org/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Please file a bug
report.
