Hello.  I set up a donated computer for homeless adults who live in a
warehouse, and I would like to secure the desktop.  The computer is
using Etch, with Gnome.  

The issue is that one of the residents will create hundreds of new
"untitled folders" on the desktop.  Further, she'll mess around with
the panels, the shortcuts on the desktops, and sometimes change the
permissions on the home directory (ie, making the /home/guest directory
inaccessible, making booting into that user on the computer impossible
until I'm there to change it back).  gdm is set up to automatically
boot into the guest user, without requiring a password.  There is just
the one user for everyone (and root for me, when necessary).

It's not a big deal, but undoing her mucking of the desktop is
something I'd rather not have to waste time with.

Thanks,
Mark
