Desktop Integration Take 2

[Ivan Gyurdiev <ivg2@cornell.edu>]

Okay, after discussing various obstacles, I think it's time to come up 
with a new plan for integrating selinux w/ nautilus.
How about the following:

- Have a file controlled by libsetrans which maps customizable types to 
(unicode?) translated strings
- Have a file controlled by libsetrans which maps mls ranges to 
(unicode?) translated strings
     (setrans.conf)

- Require the mappings above to be 1:1.

- Have two functions (with better names):
get_customizable_types_by_user()
get_mls_labels_by_user()

The first takes a [Unix] user, and returns the translated labels of all 
customizable types accessible { relabelto } from that user.
The second takes a [Unix] user, and returns the translated labels of all 
mls ranges accessible from that user, [ only the labeled ones ].

===========
Make nautilus link to libsetrans.

Then on startup, nautilus calls both of those functions exactly once.
Then it has an enumeration to work with in set interfaces - have a 
drop-down box for the type, and drop-down box for the mls range.
To label a file to a non-customizable context, add a "Restore Context" 
button, which runs restorecon.
