What component is this?

In spite of the thread complaining about SELinux, I've actually had no
problems with it in F8.  Before today, I only had 2 alerts, and they
were both due to needing to relabel, which I did a few days ago.  (I
had big problems with SELinux on FC-6, which is why I initially set it
to permissive.  I need to change to enforcing.)  Tonight I logged in,
walked off to do some kid-tucking-into-bed, and came back to find
this:

Source Context:  unconfined_u:system_r:unconfined_t:SystemLow-SystemHigh
Target Context:  unconfined_u:system_r:unconfined_t:SystemLow-SystemHigh
Target Objects:  None [ process ]
Affected RPM Packages:
Policy RPM:  selinux-policy-3.0.8-73.fc8
Selinux Enabled:  True
Policy Type:  targeted
MLS Enabled:  True
Enforcing Mode:  Permissive
Plugin Name:  plugins.allow_execheap
Host Name:  localhost.localdomain
Platform:  Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.23.9-85.fc8 #1 SMP Fri Dec
7 15:49:59 EST 2007 i686 i686
Alert Count:  1
First Seen:  Wed 16 Jan 2008 08:42:07 PM MST

Local ID:  264c0f89-91de-43d3-a095-50d6636c25d0
Line Numbers:

Raw Audit Messages :

avc: denied { execheap } for comm=gnome-settings- pid=2851
scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
tclass=process tcontext=unconfined_u:system_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023

PID 2851 didn't exist by the time I was able to check for it.  I
didn't find anything relevant in bugzilla.  A little poking around on
my system failed to turn up anything called gnome-settings-.  I'd file
a bug, but I have no idea what component this is.  Anybody know?
