There has been some discussions recently on totally changing the
permissions tab UI. See the mailing list. I think this makes sense, as
the current UI really isn't that great. As part of that we'll probably
have some sort of "advanced" permissions dialog (or page/whatever),
where selinux widgets would probably fit better.

Anyway, we're nearing the end of the current release cycle for gnome
2.14, so we're pretty busy with that. Selinux and permission ui redesign
is gonna have to wait a bit.
