Description of problem: SLiM cannot use custom themes when SELinux is enabled. I disabled SELinux and the theme I installed worked. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 19 Alpha. How reproducible: Install a custom theme on SLiM with SELinux enabled. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install SLiM, set as default display manager. 2. Install a custom theme. 3. Notice how nothing changes even after editing the configuration file. Actual results: The themes are not used. Expected results: My beautiful nebula based custom background. Additional info: Tested to exist on F19 i686 and x86_64.
Please provide info how "Install a custom theme". What scheme and from what package? What denial message are you get? Did you copied context of theme?
It was not an rpm package. It's a custom brew I made myself with editing. http://universe2.us/collector/nebulated_slimtheme.tar.gz To install, just extract and copy "nebulated" to /usr/share/slim/themes/ and then edit /etc/slim.conf and set current_theme to nebulated. I usually don't touch SELinux, so I did not pay attention to the denial message, nor did I see one. All I noticed is that when SELinux is enabled, it fails to work properly, and when it's off, it works as expected.
restoreconf -RFvv /usr/share/slim/themes/ helps you?
