Hi.
I'm seeing lots of these alerts in rawhide. Is this "normal" or is it a gnome or selinux issue or is my system problematic?

Well you are logging in as root via XWindows which is not a good idea and we do not plan to fix the policy for this. Since it is such a bad idea, and would break any security we have tried to add to SELinux to eliminate the AVC. You also setup the user to login via user_t? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org

I'm not logging in as root to gnome.

Well the AVC says

admin_home_t is the label of /root
So either you have a labeling problem or you have gconfd-2 trying to relabel saved_state.tmp which is labeled the root directory label admin_home_t
