GNOME: delete all panels?

lukeprog · 01-17-2006, 08:41 AM

How can I delete all panels in GNOME? It's telling me I can't delete the last panel, but I want to for the "all" user account on a public computing machine so that users cannot make changes. Is there a text file setting I can change so that I can delete all panels for the "all" user account?

I'm using Ubuntu 5.10.

Or, if I could disable all context menus for that user account, that'd be sweet, too.

Or, can I customize context menus? For example, remove "create launcher" from the desktop background context menu and "add to panel" from the panel context menu? Are context menu configs a text file somewhere?

These two links might offer something:

You might want to check "Gnome Kiosk" through google.

Yes, I've seen those. I've just thought of this: maybe I'll just make all files in the user's home directory (including hidden files) read-only, along with the directory itself so they cannot put new files on the desktop, etc.
