Summary: SELinux is preventing the gdm-session-wor from using potentially mislabeled files (/root). Detailed Description: SELinux has denied gdm-session-wor access to potentially mislabeled file(s) (/root). This means that SELinux will not allow gdm-session-wor to use these files. It is common for users to edit files in their home directory or tmp directories and then move (mv) them to system directories. The problem is that the files end up with the wrong file context which confined applications are not allowed to access. Allowing Access: If you want gdm-session-wor to access this files, you need to relabel them using restorecon -v '/root'. You might want to relabel the entire directory using restorecon -R -v '/root'.
