Fedora Bugzilla has a nice list with applications/programs that do not work
as have to because of SELinux

This is not just a bug. This is one more bug. There is a constant series of
major bugs since Fedora 15 (when I started use Fedora).
When a software isn't working for so long, try to fixing it is not the only
direction. Specially for users.

Anyway, I just brought up something I consider not good for Fedora.
I guess you know better what to do!
