Version: (using KDE KDE 3.3.0) Installed from: Compiled From Sources OS: Linux We would like to run KDE in mode with special restrictions, e.g. the customer shouldn't be able to run programs that can be found on the system by KDE walking through the applnk-path. Therefore the starter applet is removed from the front-panel (kicker) and replaced by a special profile-dependant menu, that provides only applications the user has to work with. That means that every possibility to run other programs must be switched off by the kiosk system. Therefore we locked down the mouse-menues and the whole kicker by setting the kickerrc immutable, as we didn`t find a mechanism to reduce only the context menu (removing "add .."). Now we have a frozen kicker that cannot be resized. Is it possible to make the kiosk restrictions more flexible at this point ?
A similar request for more flexibility: Make it so that buttons & applets defined at system level can not be removed but that the user can still add additional items himself
In KDE 4.x there is no more kicker. That being said we will need to add better integration for the plasma panel in kiosktool.
