Description of problem: This is FC6 with all updates. When I use kdm by adding DISPLAYMANAGER="KDE" to /etc/sysconfig/desktop, I cannot run pup/pirut as a regular user anymore. This is what is in dmesg: : exe="/bin/dbus-daemon" (sauid=81, hostname=?, addr=?, terminal=?)' audit(1172161508.578:11): avc: denied { transition } for pid=5201 comm="userhelper" name="pup" dev=dm-0 ino=1922908 scontext=system_u:system_r:xdm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:system_r:rpm_t:s0 tclass=process Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdebase-3.5.6-0.1.fc6 selinux-policy-2.4.6-40.fc6 pam-0.99.6.2-3.15.fc6 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. add DISPLAYMANAGER="KDE" to /etc/sysconfig/desktop 2. cycle through 'init 3' and 'init 5' to switch to kdm 3. Login as a user and try 'pup'. It'll ask for a password, but no more 4. go back to gdm, and everything is fine Additional info: I don't know if it's selinux or kdm fault, so ccing Than and assigning to Daniel.
