ah! What you want is /home/tom/.etc/ ?
Something like that - yes.
Aunt Ellie downloads a movie. It goes into the Download folder (or
really anywhere, it doesn't matter much). She drags the movie icon to
the movie player and lets it drop. Movie plays.
Behind the scenes, the file is relabeled or moved into another
directory where mplayer can access it.
How does this relate to the SElinux work to secure the X server?
Should the desktop environment be trusted?
.. so what you're saying is that nautilus (running as user_t, which has
read access to the file in question, as well as appropriate relabel
access), should determine its mime type, or use the DND target app, and
associate a context with that, which the mime handler can play, then
relabel file to that context (can't copy - what if it's huge?).... and
do this for every mime handler I attempt to open it with?
