Enabling SELinux Alert notification

[Daniel Yek]

OK, never mind that. After a system reboot, it magically worked.

(One bit of important information I forgot to include is that this is a 
x86_64 system. I'm not sure if that would explain some of the problems that 
I encountered. By the way, the eye candy is really sweet; like it very much.)
