Description of problem: when running virt-manager of ssh/X11, dbus encounters an selinux avc and errors out, despite selinux being in permissive mode. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dbus-1.2.24-5.el6_1.x86_64 libselinux-2.0.94-5.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: Set selinux=permissive, reboot, watch any attempt to run X11 over ssh. Steps to Reproduce: 1. login, run virt-manager 2. see window complaining that virt-manager can't talk to gconf Actual results: virt-manager --debug shows the following: dbus_bus_get(): An SELinux policy prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient (rejected message had interface "org.freedesktop.DBus" member "Hello" error name "(unset)" destination "org.freedesktop.DBus Expected results: virt-manager works of ssh/X11 Additional info: setting selinux=disabled works fine, but I don't want to run in this mannner.

Still not workin'. We've just turned off selinux to get our stuff working, which is kind of heart-breaking but what else can we do?
Having some trouble working out why this is taking three years to fix. Am I missing something?
