dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86

[Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton]

russell, hi,

ah ha, you missed one :)

i frequently use dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 to reconfig X.

and of course a run_init /etc/init.d/kdm restart throws a wobbly
because the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file is owned by
root:sysadm_r:sysadm_t instead of system_u:...

so!

the setfiles trigger, /etc/dpkg/postinst.d/selinux, needs to
be re-run after people use dpkg-reconfigure.

for either an answer or ring-tone; hanging up immediately and
believing that you have actually started a conversation.

I have noticed the same issue with woody on one build when using 
xf86config to build the config file for X. Same system also gave me 
errors out the wazzu with handling support for X11-forwarded sessions 
over ssh. Rerunning the postinst script usually fixes anything i decide 
to monkey around with and break. Plus checking iptables first to make 
sure I didnt add any ports that I shouldnt have.
