This access is neccessary for many GUI programs when Gnome is not installed. I agree that it should be added to some other abstractions if needed. The idea occurred to me that the code should have been in the Freedesktop.org abstraction, or perhaps just a generic desktop abstraction. My guess as to why it is not included is that it is not a part of the Freedesktop.org specification. In my opinion, using the Gnome abstraction would not be appropriate unless Gnome software and/or the Gnome Desktop is installed. Gnome will not will not be installed on all workstations as there is a variety of options available which Debian users may select for usage. Also my aa-logprof does not provide the Gnome abstraction as an option to select for resolution, perhaps there are too few matching rules in the Gnome abstraction to enable it. It seems a little contrary to the purpose of access control to be as inclusive as possible with profiles, although this is indeed the easiest methodology of ensuring functionality. There are already available within the profiles packages provided by Debian many small and separated abstractions. My primary concern is just getting this functionality available in the best manner.
