Thank you for the reply. The wordpress page is along the lines of what I was looking for. Unfortunately I have no menu item "Applications -> System Tools -> Configuration Editor". Is there a way to get to that function by other means? If so, as what user?
I want to remove the shutdown functions from the logout dialog because there is more than one concurrent user on the machine. The users are aware that they should not shut down, but the presence of the buttons makes it easy for someone to choose the wrong button inadvertently. I am happy to leave the power button and ctrl-alt-del available, as it seems less likely they will be used by mistake. What I have done so far, when adding a new user foo, is to log in as foo and run gconf-editor as that user. In the editor, I go to /app/gnome- power-manager and uncheck "can_hibernate". Obviously it would be much more satisfactory to disable shutdown, restart and hibernate for all users, present and future. -- Any user can shut down https://launchpad.net/bugs/81700 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
