I ran into an interesting denial:

Other than the double setattr in the permissions, trying to label this
selection for anything but the default doesn't seem possible. It seems
that this should be type_transitioned, but it didn't seem to work.
Whoops, I know why the double setattr is there. I'll get that fixed,
ignore that for now.
We probably need to have wildcarding in the X label support, like the
way filenames work. Do you agree?
But I don't have a clue why D-BUS is creating selections with those
insane names. It looks like abuse of the selection mechanism to me.
Selections are used for IPC, hence they're supposed to have fixed,
standard names. Actually it doesn't make sense to me that D-BUS is
using selections at all.
