Running latest rawhide stuff, targeted/enforcing.

Two 'after market' packages appear to need some help: skype and vmware.

Here's the avc from vmware

scontext=root:system_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c255
tcontext=system_u:object_r:lib_t:s0 tclass=file

Looks like they have a 'local version' of libgdk-x11-2.s0.0 that needs
TEXTREL (looks like the one in /usr/lib doesn't need TEXTREL).

and for skype:

I'm willing to pester the vmware folks to get them to examine/fix
this. Not sure how to do that with the skype folks .....

Any suggestions with either?
