I'm not 100% clear, is the auditing happening from unix_chkpwd or the
screensaver proper?

The gnome module is for policies for core gnome components.
Unfortunately "core component" isn't really well defined at the moment.
But I've been thinking about it since Dan has a gnome clock applet
policy since it can set the clock.  If we had a better idea what pieces
needed their own domain, it'd be easier to make a decision.  Something
like dbus doesn't fit since its useful outside of gnome.
