Hi everyone,
first of all I'd like to thank the xfce staff for their amazing work: I
have been using this since quite some time (maybe the first xfce
release, if my memory is right) and it just got better and better.
I am planning to use xfce4 on many computers in a library that need to
be "locked",i.e. they just have to let mozilla run.
I looked around to understend how to do this, and got into 2 steps:
modify and chown the user's menu.xml, and lock his panel via
XFCE_DISABLE_USER_CONFIG.
Here's my problem: setting the enviroment variable I achieve that user
cannot modify elements in the panel, but I can't get rid of the "Add
item" in the panel's menu.
In truth, if the user adds a launcher it will be gone in the next
session, but I'd really prefer if he can't add anything at all!
I have seen in the Mailing List archives that someone says that setting
XFCE_DISABLE_USER_CONFIG will hide that menu, but it doesn't seem to
work for me...Any clue?
Thank you for your attention and help.
Alvise
