Most of the posts to the test list about SELinux lately have been about
httpd issues (serving from users home directories, cgi scripts, etc.).  I
would argue that the average "desktop" system wouldn't have those issues.

SELinux makes just as much sense on the desktop, because it is another
layer of permissions to keep you from making a mistake that will break
things.
