I see this too (and have seen it with my recent development-snapshit 
installs).  This looks like a bug to me and I have been meaning to file a 
report on it.  I will give you the pleasure.

I suspect this is the same thing I saw with system-config-soundcard being 
invoked.  See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=119433

I am sure the problem is not really against s-c-s but ffiled it there figuring 
it would get properly assigned by someone who understood the problem.

You might try and run the programs from a terminal to see if you get the 
"Could not set exec context to user_u:sysadm_r:sysadm_t." message also.
