[Bug 886983] [NEW] properties panel should not show SELinux context information

 

Public bug reported:

Since Ubuntu uses AppArmor by default, the nautilus properties panel
shouldn't show the SELinux context information. This is technical
information that is useless to the user on a default Ubuntu
installation.

We could simply remove selinux from the debian/control file, which would
remove all SELinux integration in nautilus, or we could figure out at
nautilus runtime if selinux or apparmor is actually loaded in the
kernel. We could also simply not display the field if the value is
"Unknown".
