I do not want to spend time converting this file when I see that a bug preventing this application to launch has been present for more than one year.

This particular problem was fixed in Fedora by 
https://github.com/fedora-selinux/selinux/commit/ecd050d12cde54f3d7a31029be8582223d3d6eba

I must have forgotten to re-send it. Sorry.

I'd like to ask to postpone accepting this patch for another 2
weeks. I'll try to port/convert polgengui.py to be compatible with
Gtk-Builder. I'll come back either with patch or with Ack to drop it.

Thanks,

Petr
