Drag the logout icon to the desktop? There may be a way to limit the options on the logout dialog. If it does exist its probably only editable with gconf-editor. (For example, remote and flexi logins have the reboot and shutdown options removed from the logout dialog.) Also, you may be able to run /sbin/halt (or shutdown -h now) as a normal user. It would be preferable to use the GNOME logout, I think. > 2) Is there any way to switch item selection in nautilus to > single-click? main menu -> Preferences -> File Management Top of the Behavior tab is single or double click to active items. > 3) He's accessing the internet with a 56K modem, which is ideal for > his needs.

I've seen some people complain that its flaky. I don't have any modems so I'm not sure. -- David Norris http://www.webaugur.com/dave/ ICQ - 412039
