OOo appears to have support for an --enable-lockdown configure

Hello Stephan.
Yes, the code is still relevant and working. We use it in Fedora, for
example.
I see. There is two minor issues I have with it:
Hi Stephan,
1 The gconf backend provides data for a non-existent configuration
entry /org.openoffice.Office.Common/Misc/DisableUICustomization. The
old configmgr implementation probably just ignores it. Can somebody
confirm that this specific item is indeed dead code?
As far as I know this configuration entry is not used by any framework
code that I am aware of. OpenGrok also finds only one occurence in
gconfbe within DEV300m60. There are other ways to accomplish the task
and from my point of view this entry is dead code. I don't know who
invented this entry and for what exact purpose. May be someone else can
shed some light to this strange issue.
2 The gconf backend provides data for configuration set member
properties
/org.openoffice.Setup/Office/Factories/com.sun.star.XXX.XXXDocument/ooSetupFactoryDefaultFilter,
for XXX in Presentation, Spreadsheet, Text. Strictly speaking, this
is problematic if some of those components are not installed (like an
OOo installation where Impress has deliberately not been installed).
The old configmgr implementation probably just ignores those items in
such a case. I will need to see how to address that with the new
configmgr implementation (see
<http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Performance/Configuration#Platform_Backends>
for the way I intend to modify those platform backends).
