selinux is permissive.

Previously, experimentation showed that gnome-terminal spawns a shell with  
the current directory inherited from the parent process, and nautilus now  
appears to run with its current directory as /. I'm guessing that in F19  
nautilus 3.8 ran with $HOME for its current directory, and F20's nautilus  
3.10 runs from /. Just guessing that this is really nautilus's bug. I think  
a good argument can be made for nautilus to reset to $HOME after forking off  
a child process for a launched application, if it's running from /.
