The following was filed automatically by setroubleshoot: Summary: SELinux is preventing polkit-gnome-au (policykit_auth_t) "getattr" fonts_t. Detailed Description: SELinux denied access requested by polkit-gnome-au. It is not expected that this access is required by polkit-gnome-au 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://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Please file a bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi) against this package.

You have a mislabeled /usr/libexec directory. restorecon -R -v /usr/libexec Marking this as not a bug, since I think this is an upgrade or Rawhide bug, that it did not fix the labeling.
Dan -- this is a clean install of F12 a1 from Tuesday... if its a rawhide bug, shouldn't it be filed against ... something? Maybe I'm misunderstanding. Very tool reporting widget, btw.
Was the file mislabeled?
I have no idea; I ran restorecon and haven't gotten a warning since, but they weren't happening all of the time.
All I know is the label should be bin_t and as of policy -8 it is bin_t. How it got mislabeled I do not know. The mislabel was around in -6. So if you installed rawhide and upgraded to -8 it should have fixed the label, but it looks like it did not. If you installed directly -8 then rpm labeled it incorrectly.
alpha1 started with -8, so something must have relabeled it (or added mislabeled files?) Is there a way to determine which package might have done that? I see fontpackages-filesystem-1.22-2.fc12 in the error report...
No I have no idea how it could possibly have been mislabeled. Usually mislabeling happens when a file gets the label of its parent directory. Could you try another Alpha1 install and see if it is mislabled?
