Hi again,

These messages indicate that setroubleshootd itself has problems communicating with the OS audit daemon. Interesting! Could it be that you should try to restart the audit daemon by doing a service auditd stop followed by a service auditd start.

If the problem is not cured by this, then you need to look at the context of the files been shown in the AVC messages( name="audispd_events" dev=hda8 ino=16329). I am guessing that this probably refers to a file under /var/run:

srw-r-----  root    root    user_u:object_r:audisp_var_run_t audispd_events
-rw-r--r--  root    root    user_u:object_r:auditd_var_run_t auditd.pid
drwxr-xr-x root root system_u:object_r:setroubleshoot_var_run_t setroubleshoot


You should then have at this point access to these files in the correct SElinux context under /var/run and try to make it winge by executing a manually installed version of Open Office 3. You should see the star icon popping up.
