XFCE is a DE, not a WM. XFCE, GNOME & KDE all provide infrastructure to lock down the environment, but it is poorly documented. XFCE's lockdown is less powerful than GNOME's. If you don't *need* a full DE, then just install a window manager. Instead of a panel, desktop &c, just start a three-button launcher with the apps you want. > and possibly allow immutable config, so the > end user can change settings while the PC is on, but as soon as you > restart, it goes back to a precoded set of configs. I use Debian's live-boot & live-config for this. _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
