Description robert fairb 2010-05-29 19:36:45 UTC 
Summary:

SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/gnome-system-monitor-mechanism "search"
access on /usr/share/locale.

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by gnome-system-mo. It is not expected that this
access is required by gnome-system-mo 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.

Robert, 
you can allow it for now using

# cat > local.te << _EOF
policy_module(local, 1.0)

require {
         type gnomesystemmm_t;
}

miscfiles_read_localization(gnomesystemmm_t)
_EOF

# make -f /usr/share/selinux/devel/Makefile
# semodule -i local.pp
