Introduction to Disabling GNOME Desktop Features
The GNOME Desktop includes features that you can use
to restrict access to certain functions in the GNOME Desktop. The disable
features are useful in various situations where you want to restrict the actions
that users can perform on a computer. For example, you might want to prevent
command line operations on a computer that is for public use at a trade show.
The disable features are also known as lockdown features.
You set GConf keys to disable features. For
information about how to set GConf keys, see Chapter 1, Using GConf. You can also use the Configuration Editor application to set GConf keys in
a user configuration source. For more information about the Configuration Editor application, see the GConf Editor
Manual.
