I *think* python and Java ought to do similar things wrt to permissions;
although I don't know if python needs executable memory (JIT compiling),
which Java does.The Java policy should certainly allow this usage
though, so there is a bug. I've played with SELinux before, the context
will be reapplied, but if you change the config file which Java installs
(and the package doesn't overwrite it, if it does blame your package
manager for not being dpkg) then it will fix it permanently.

Can you send me the message? I *might* have left some debug on, else
there could be a problem with how I'm handling DBus.
