The .whatever directories are labelled.  However sometimes a new version of an 
application or a configuration that is not commonly used wants to access a 
dot file that the people who wrote the policy did not expect.  In such a case 
if you tell us the name of the file the .fc file can be adjusted 
appropriately.

Mozilla has some dontaudit rules which prevent most access being reported.  
But if you put the machine in permissive mode then you should see some 
messages (usually the getattr/read operations are dontaudit'd, while a write 
or create won't be).
