 From nosnilmot:

 Mono apps need mono_exec_t. Since pidgin doesn't call /usr/bin/mono to run
 its
 mono bits, the existing selinux policy misses this.
 XXX: This command fails on non-selinux systems with a non-zero return
 code.
 Changing the selinux context here would also cause rpm -V and TPS failure.

 This is the killer:
 There is also concern that we don't want pidgin to run with this security
 context
 due to its historical security track record.  For now we are disaling mono
 temporarily until we decide a long term solution.
 /usr/bin/chcon -t mono_exec_t /usr/bin/pidgin
