Any idea why gdm gnome shell would try to execute /usr/bin/vlc?
Nope this was in a middle of an update using yumex, vlc was not active nor being updated. Though i have just noticed in the report its happened more than i thought, i thought only once, but i haven't used vlc at all since it first started. Only installed yesterday so just been installing stuff and playing around with f16
Dan, this does access check syscall=access and looks this is an issue with yumex during an update.
Yes I just checked in a dontaudit access_check for this. Fixed in selinux-policy-3.10.0-40.fc16
