Although this is an SELinux denial, before changing the policy, I wonder if someone who knows this package could verify that it really needs access to /var/tmp?
Fresh installation of fedora 64 as a virtualbox guest vm. Receive an SELinux warning stating SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/python2.7 from reading tmp
Package: (null)
OS Release: Fedora release 17 (Beefy Miracle)

Hi. I'm closing this bug as Blueman has been retired from Fedora.
If you wish to file a bug against upstream, a new Blueman fork has been created in this github repository. [1]
I apologize for the inconvenience.

Description of problem: Fresh install of F18 beta with default packages. Did yum groupinstall of xfce, and logged into xfce. This is one of several immediate AVCs.
