Is the name of the socket predictable or can we move it to a subdir
of /tmp? If we were to use a subdir, it should be pretty easy to apply a
special SELinux context.

I hadn't noticed that one but I think you are right.

Background settings work fine here.

Great, thanks a lot for taking care of the bugs. When we started using
the automatic bug reporting tool it produced a lot of useless backtraces
without debuginfo, but now things seem to work properly. Nevertheless
it's a lot of work for me as a maintainer, I have ~ open ABRT bugs.

Keep on the good work, it's highly appreciated.
