Okay, I created a policy from audit2allow and used as many macros as I
could where it made sense.  Below I have the TE file that I wrote.
This policy works fine with setenforce 0 and doesn't generate many
AVCs at all anymore, except when I navigate outside of the user's home
directory when saving or opening a jpeg, and I've auditdenied some of
that stuff.  But when I turn enforcing on, setenforce 1, I get this
error:

$ googleearth
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

There are no AVCs to be found in /var/log/messages.  I figured these
lines should've handled any X server issues:

# XServer set-up

xserver_use_xdm_fds(googleearth_t)
xserver_stream_connect_xdm(googleearth_t)

... but they don't.

So my Google Earth policy works in permissive mode but fails in
enforcing mode without any AVCs to explain why not.  Do you know how
to fix this?  Here's the TE I wrote:
