Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately, I couldn't follow these directions -- maybe I'm missing something obvious ?

No "main menu" application, and couldn't find any entry for the 'logout' button either. Tried both as a regular user, and as root (ssh -X root@localhost). There is a panel/global/locked_down key, but I don't yet have anything worth locking down :( > Another alternative is apps- gnomepowermanager-can_hibernate and can_suspend > > or > > apps-gnomepowermanager-buttons-power (change from "interactive" to "nothing") I did see this suggestion elsewhere as well (on some of the Ubuntu formus, to be precise). There are no keys named 'can_hibernate' and 'can_suspend' underneath apps/gnome-power-manager. If I add them and set them to false, nothing happens (any user logging in at the console still gets a System/Shut Down menu entry, and so does the gdm login/greeter screen. Besides, I'd also like to prevent users from shutting down and restarting, not just hibernating or suspending. Did I miss anything in your instructions, or did something change recently ? I am on F14.
