Bad news: no, it's not that simple at all. Uses a bunch of old crap in
its glade file, that requires the app code to have done
gnome_program_init(), which for python stuff is in gnome-python2. I
thought the gnome.program_init() calls were basically unnecessary, but
nope, needed. I am not up for bashing on this stuff right now.

So, system-config-selinux and sepolgengui are going to be broken until
someone ports them to something newer, or someone resurrects pyorbit.
