[ale] SELinux & abrtd

[Jim Kinney]

The popup notice has a "show extended/view details" feature. Included in
that is a command line instruction to run to allow the blocked access. There
are typically 2 ways to resolve these: temporary and permanently. Do the
temp version AND hit the bug notice button to send the problem upstream.

yeah, I know, the bug notice process is what croaked in the first place.
Usual abrtd stuff I've seen involve temp files (ditto on yum selinux issues)
so allowing the read/write is OK.

I would rather stumble along in freedom than walk effortlessly in chains.
