Unfortunately, I operate in a stand-alone environment, so I would need
to defer to others regarding such adjustments on remote/server logins.
Presumably it might be part of a global user login script.

There is also a kiosk mode for Xfce that might be helpful to you
depending upon just how much control you need to implement. More
information for this using the session manager in 4.2 is here:

Beware of line wrapping above.
