I'm reading the Fedora Selinux docs and saw this "File context are stored with 
the Inode in an extended attribute on systems that support extended 
attributes. This works the same way as DAC Protections and ACL's. In that the 
security of the file is based information stored at the Inode not the path to 
the file."

Looking at /var/log/messages I notice that I'm getting a ton of these:

Aug  1 23:08:42 tehogee kernel: inode_doinit_with_dentry:  
context_to_sid(user_u:object_r:unconfined_var_tmp_t) returned 22 for dev=dm-0

There are over a hundred of these over the course of the day, including a 
bunch since I tried to run those programs. I don't know the relevance, but, I 
post them in case...
