File Browsing apps and getattr

What are your thoughts on this bug?
It asks whether it would be reasonable to grant full getattr privileges to all file browsing applications (like nautilus, mozilla, things with a file open dialog..)

This has bothered me ever since I first tried selinux - I open up nautilus or any other app with a file browser, and soon I get a storm of denials. There should be a way to fix this.

The bug says dontaudit, but when dwalsh explained the difference I see I mean allow instead.
