Remove shutdown, reboot, etc options from LXDE logout menu


Hi,
I'm trying to figure out a way to remove the options to shutdown, reboot, hibernate, and suspend from the LXDE logout menu. I haven't had much luck searching; everything I've found is about how to add the buttons if they aren't there to begin with. Many of those links suggested adding the user to the "power" group. My thought was to remove users from the power group, but on my Debian 8 system there isn't a power group. None of the users have sudo rights.

I'm not trying to keep anybody from shutting down via the terminal, I just want to remove the icon.

Does anyone have any thoughts?

What happens then I pull the power plug?

I looked into that on a similar wm. Seems to me it was rather complex. Not a simple edit. I'd have had to rebuild the wm from sources and edit out those.

A possible solution may be to rename the commands. I get the feeling that commands actually are being called from the wm.

Maybe someone else knows a for sure way to edit them out easily.

Not sure this is any help at all. http://wiki.lxde.org/en/Main_Menu

Thanks for the reply!

The LXDE wiki didn't have anything about changing anything for lxde-logout. After looking around a bit I found this link that shows how to modify what happens when you hit the "Logout" button. I tried "pkill lxsession" and it seems to work fine so far.

Thanks for the update. Looks like it is easier to configure than I counted on.
