Good questions, but I have no real answer to them.

The AuFS page has this statement on Aufs3 in the section titled "Features":

"Features or just an idea in the future (see also design/*.txt),
...
- xattr, acl"
http://aufs.sourceforge.net/

So I think that means that there is no xattr support in Aufs3. But I
am not sure what the implications are.

Cheers,
Andreas

No, I am usually using KDE in permissive mode. There are still some AVC
warnings I want to get rid off.

But due to the involvement of Red Hat in both SELinux policy development
and Gnome I do not expect that many difficulties with Gnome and SELinux,
but I did not try.

Great!

I'll test it, but probably not before 10 days.

Why the "% debug_command"?

The "% debug_command" lets me think a %s is missing in the
format string, isn't it?

I think this won't work once commands that span multiple words are
used; or am I wrong, that is, do the changes introduced by commit
38293d actually work?

I will, but I cannot promise it will be before 10 days.

Can you please publish the commits and tag used to build the
WhisperBack 1.6~alpha1 .deb?

Nice to hear :)

Next question, then: is it compatible with aufs, or perhaps it does
not need to be?

I'm curious: have you been running a GNOME desktop in enforcing mode?

Sorry, our wiki antispam is pretty rough :(
... but since we've had it, it has significantly cut down the amount
of work we have to do to fight spam, compared to the relatively rare
false positives we have been told of.

Like you just did :)
I applied your changes but edited them a bit.
Git patches or pull requests are welcome too.

Cheers!

I only read it (no tests), but it looked clear and easy enough. We'll
see how our users feel about it. Good work! :)

The mozilla.org page for the extension says “This add-on has been
removed by its author” and the author is not actively developing any
other extension.
