You can safely ignore this.

The setroubleshoot is a catchall and it is incorrect.  This is what is
happening:

When you login gdm sets stderr for all of the applications it executes
including the gnome panel to ~/.xsession-errors.

When you execute any system-config-* apps like system-config-services
stderr gets passed down and eventually it gets to the confined
application nfsd.  When the selinux kernel sees this it reports and
error and closes the file descriptor, and reports this ugly avc.
