What I'd really love is for somebody to make it possible to restrict the things that are possible in KDE -- for example so that a school could use it on the desktop without the kids fiddling with all the settings.
It seems to me that this is (a) extremely easy & (b) rather difficult It is easy because it is all controlled by text files in areas (on our system) such as /usr/share/applnk and /usr/share/config and ~/.kde/share. These text files are easily edited by hand or by scripts, which might be run by cron, and easily protected against user modification if the users don't have root access. It is difficult because you need to know the structure of the applnk and config and rc files and the interactions between them, and you then need to know how to write the appropriate scripts. -- Christopher Dawkins, Felsted School, Dunmow, Essex CM6 3JG 01371-820527 or 07798 636725 cchd@felsted.essex.sch.uk
