I've been running the rawhide xserver and a patched metacity which
uses the _SELINUX_CLIENT_CONTEXT xproperty to get the context for
window labels. Because of my desire to maintain a working system I've
taken the approach of changing just one thing at a time. So I chose to
update my policy first by merging the refpolicy with the rawhide
source rpm and patch-20071130.patch. After a few issues I've built and
installed the new policy but now metacity is no longer getting a
context in _SELINUX_CLIENT_CONTEXT. I've looked around in the audit
log but nothing jumps out at me as being amiss. Any ideas on how I can
track down why this property was impacted by this new policy?
