# for /usr/lib/kauth/libexec/backlighthelper accessing /root/.config
xdg_search_config_dirs(system_dbusd_t)

So system_dbusd_t is running backlighthelper from the powerdevil package when
I login as non-root. Is it expected that backlighthelper runs as
system_dbusd_t? Accessing /root/.config seems like a powerdevil bug in any
case.

I don't have a laptop handy to dig through this, but it sounds buggy to
me. I wouldn't expect to see it running in system_dbusd_t.
