Hello Janyne, Monday, March 04, 2002, 8:53:48 AM, you textually orated:
JK> I would like to customize the default KDE desktop that my users get. JK> How can we remove items from the default desktop (KDE Control Panel, JK> Linux Documentation, www.redhat.com and Trash)? Create a user. Then set up this user's environment (icons, etc.) to the way you want it. Then take (at least) the .kde directory and copy it over to the /etc/skel directory. There is already one there so you will overwrite that one. Then when new users are created they will get what is in there. That also applies to their other shells as well. "/etc/skel" is the "base" for what users get when set up. JK> Also, any ideas about how we can prevent editing of the menu and JK> taskbar? We would like for users to be able to add icons to their JK> desktops but we would like for the to have the KPanel and KMenu that we JK> provide. We feel that this would ease the phone support burden. Then "main" menu is only editable by root. When a user edits their menu they are doing so only for themselves. KDE merges all the available menus. To prevent them from editing the menu, the best way I can think of is to make the permissions for the menu editor for root only. Then it would take some real savvy to edit the menu files by hand, but wouldn't stop them from creating icons. Have fun, -- _________________________________________________________________ Brian Ashe CTO [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dee-Web Software Services, LLC. http://www.dee-web.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
