Instead of left clicking on your menu icon to drop the menu down, right click on it. Select "Edit Menus". A form should appear, in which you can add, edit or delete menu items there. Sure, if your users know the command to launch a program that isn't in the menu, it won't stop them from doing that - but most users aren't smart enough to do that.
Hope this helps... and isn't too late. --- On Fri, 11/7/08, Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [Ltsp-discuss] LTSP Gnome login and icon issues To: ltsp-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net Date: Friday, November 7, 2008, 12:32 PM Hello, I am building an LTSP server with Ubuntu 8.04 with the Edubuntu add on. Things are going well except for a couple issues that i can't figure out. 1. When I log in to gnome as a local user on the actual server, not from a client, it will show the background and sit for about 2 minutes then the panel will load then about 20 seconds later the icons and menus will show up. The only relevant logs that I have found are ~/.xsession-errors. Listed below: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Starting gtk-window-decorator /usr/bin/compiz.real (video) - Warn: No 8 bit GLX pixmap format, disabling YV12 image format ** (nautilus:17165): WARNING **: Unable to add monitor: Not supported I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/home/linux/.compiz/session/default0" PID TTY TIME CMD 17143 ? 00:00:00 pulseaudio ** (gnome-panel:17164): WARNING **: panel-applet-frame.c:1310: failed to get Bonobo/Control interface on applet OAFIID:GNOME_MixerApplet: Unknown CORBA exception id: 'IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0' ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have googled all of this and tried dozens of "fixes" none have worked. 2. I need to remove the Evolution-email icon from the default Gnome panel. This is a school district and I need to remove anything from plain sight that the kids might want to fiddle with. By default, when someone logs in they get the: Applications Places System (firefox) (email) (help) I simply want to remove the (email) icon from the panel for all NEW users. I have gone through all the configs i can find and modified everything i could think of and it still shows up, even after rm -rfing the home directories of my test accounts. Any advice??? This is also my first post so feel free to tell me what I did wrong --scott ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/_____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
