Well the AVC says

host=valent.lan type=AVC msg=audit(1206099072.482:443): avc:  denied  {
rename } for  pid=13738 comm="gconfd-2" name="saved_state.tmp" dev=sda9
ino=865370 scontext=user_u:user_r:user_t:s0
tcontext=user_u:object_r:admin_home_t:s0 tclass=file

host=valent.lan type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1206099072.482:443):
arch=40000003 syscall=38 success=yes exit=0 a0=9f59b20 a1=9f57118 a2=0
a3=5 items=0 ppid=1 pid=13738 auid=500 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0

exe="/usr/libexec/gconfd-2" subj=user_u:user_r:user_t:s0 key=(null)


admin_home_t is the label of /root

So either  you have a labeling problem or you have gconfd-2 trying to
relabel saved_state.tmp which is labeled the root directory label
admin_home_t
