Thanks for the hints. However, if the window manager runs as normal user then normal user can easily use e.g. ptrace() to connect to the wm and disable any such features. Are you aware of any window managers that'd support running them as a separate user? At least with icewm that does not quite work => all processes started from its menus would then also be started as this separate wm-user and not the normal unprivileged user. If I prefix all menu entries with "sudo -u normal-user ..." then I can not let normal users modify the menus, clearly not an option. _______________________________________________ xorg@lists.freedesktop.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: arch...@mail-archive.com
