Hi George,

You should take a look at the nxacl component that Fabian made to adress such
needs, or if you would rather use the Window Manager to do this, you should
look at how to configure a kiosk setup in KDE/Gnome.

For more info about the nxacl, look at the sample provided with FreeNX, or
at the Wiki/FAQ (look at the bottom of this mail for the URL).

Regards,
Terje
