alright well since i do not have sufficient information here is what i suspect may be required:

mkdir ~/mypolkit; cd ~/mypolkit;
echo "policy_module(mypolkit, 1.0.0)" > mypolkit.te;
echo "require { type policykit_auth_t; }" >> mypolkit.te;
echo "xserver_append_xdm_home_files(policykit_auth_t)" >> mypolkit.te;

make -f /usr/share/selinux/devel/Makefile mypolkit.pp
sudo semodule -i mypolkit.pp

But again: I am not sure if this is what is actually needed. I need to see the full AVC denial instead of only part of an AVC denial to be able to properly determine what is required.
