Description Jerry James 2008-01-20 21:19:33 UTC
Description of problem:
I logged into my freshly booted up system, walked away for about 10 minutes,
then came back to find an AVC denial had occurred in my absence.

Raw Audit Messages :

avc: denied { execheap } for comm=gnome-settings- pid=2851
scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
tclass=process tcontext=unconfined_u:system_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023

PID 2851 didn't exist by the time I was able to check for it.  Asking on
fedora-devel-list led to the suggestion that this is gnome-settings-daemon.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
control-center-2.20.1-5.fc8

How reproducible:
Not at all.  It has never happened before, and I have not been able to provoke
the same behavior since.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot up
2. Login
3. Walk away for about 10 minutes and see if you get lucky.
  
Actual results:
I got the AVC denial shown above.

Expected results:
No AVC denial
