Umm...it depends. Just because a particular package shows up on
root's "desktop" doesn't mean it's not available to other users.
OTOH, if it's something "joe user" shouldn't have access to
(sendmail, bind, other "sensitive" packages) he won't be able to
access it. This is a GOOD thing.
One problem with NT, as I see it, is that there is VERY little that
an Admin can do that an average user can't do. Also realize that if
you want an app to show up on EVERYONE's desktop, there are ways to
do it.... I'm thinking you could probably put it in /etc/skel/Desktop
as a <appname>.kdelnk file and it would at least show up on NEW
desktops....
Now, never having adminned a multi-user GUI machine, I'll have to say
I don't know for sure if that would work for EXISTING accounts or
not.... I'm sure there are some experts here who can tell you EXACTLY
how to go about that...
