I tested this on Fedora 22 and did not get a USER_AVC from dbus, but I also
did not get an error message in syslog. So, I don't know what to make of it.
(And for the record, I have a bz open saying that USER_AVC is the wrong event
type. They are blaming libselinux but I blame them for not using
AUDIT_USER_MAC_POLICY_LOAD.)
