SELinux is preventing kdm (xdm_t) "execute" bootloader_exec_t

I noticed these denials (denying execute of grub by kdm) appearing
about a month ago (Fedora 11) whenever I select the "Leave" option on
the desktop right-click menu. I did a search and found this:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=505408
Daniel Walsh (Mr. Selinux for Red Hat) says it will not be fixed
because it's considered a security exposure to allow the login screen
to "modify grub without logging in".
What's up with this? What is kdm up to here?
