...and after you get it sorted, create her a user account of her very own. You will still have to restore things for her when they get messed up, but a. you can sort it out in your own time b. you can still use the computer until you sort out her account c. she learns the effects of uncontrolled fiddling around It works just great for my 11-year old son who can't stop himself from fiddling. I have set up GDM (Gnome display manager, in effect the graphical login screen) and PAM (pluggable authentication module, I think) so that you do not have to type a password if you login from GDM locally, but you do have to type a password if you login from a console or from a remote X session. The effect is that at GDM you either type a user name or select your photo from the face browser and ... you're in. I am still working on a system of accounts and permissions to solve the digital photo situation (2 shared cameras, everyone wants to see all photos, I don't want anyone to be able to modify or delete the originals), although a recent threads has given some ideas.
