Description major 2010-12-21 05:22:05 UTC
Summary:

SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/gnome-screensaver "execute" access on
/usr/bin/thunderbird.

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by gnome-screensav. It is not expected that this
access is required by gnome-screensav 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://docs.fedoraproject.org/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Please file a bug
report.

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2010-12-21 14:01:14 UTC
Gnome power manager should not be running screensaver from the xdm user.
