PATCH 1/1 Added KDE and Konqueror policy. Made necessary changes in staff, unprivuser and unconfined, for it to work.

Thanks for your comments, I'll provide a better patch soon. In the meantime just some notes and questions.

This does probably require the user to be able to manage it

What do you mean by this?

Should probably go into userdomain (common use template), but i believe that for reference policy these calls are not required at all (gets called automatically)

Not sure whether it is a good idea run let unconfined_t transition

Well I'm definitely confused about where to place these calls. Fedora has it somewhere, refpolicy elsewhere. Could somebody provide explanation about it?

Why not just kde_shared_home_t for everything in ~/.kde

Well, I hope this policy to be just a first step in constructing policies for other KDE aplications, which I think should be also confined from each other, so that e.g. a weakness in KDE browser would not endager contacts in KDE mail client.

+gen_tunable(konqueror_exec_bin_t, false)

This shouldnt be tunable

Hm, I made it tunable, because I didn't feel quite right to let konqueror run bin_t just because of some bug reporting tool. Maybe that was not good idea... Any special reasons why it sould not be tunable?

Thanx for your time,

Well this content (i assume) is shared between konqueror and users. So in that case users must be able to manage this content.

Fedora calls role templates in userdom.if (the common user template) Refpolicy (i think) uses a mechanism that automatically calls the per role templates. So you do not have to call the template explicitly like you do above.

I see. The issue i guess is the "filetrans_pattern". It is not in the base module. That means you will probably use it in an optional policy block Also you will not be able to use attributes for this type of content properly. Other than that i agree that it is a good idea. The problem is that refpolicy propbably will not accept it.

Well i think tunables should only de used for things that affect security in significant ways. You could consider to just dontaudit it altogether although that is not a proper solution either.
