 So, in summary of the discussion, having pam_selinux let the user pick the TE and Sensitivity separately (much as it does now if get_ordered_context_list_with_level() fails) is the valid approach?

 But, from the "gdm/trsuted-X needs lots more work" discussion, gdm should just stay with the default Sensitivity and people can use a terminal+ssh to change levels?
