[Kde-kiosk] KDE Kiosk and OOo lockdown

[Éric Bischoff]

Martijn,


(I'm not subscribed to kde-kiosk mailing list)

I recently stumbled on your message
	http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-kiosk&m=112867442005265&w=2

Quoting you:
	"Firefox has its own lockdown framework. For OOo I have no idea."

OOo has a compilation flag named
	--enable-lockdown
SUSE for example activates this flag for GNOME. Currently, there's no 
implementation for lockdown in KDE backend in OOo.

If a distro does not compile OOo with this flag, there's simply no lockdown.

The source code for "KDE settings backend" lives in the OOo source tree in
	shell/source/backends/kdebe
I know how to implement the lockdown stuff from a technical point of view, and 
I offer to do it now, but a little help from you kde-kiosk people would 
really be welcome ;-).

Below is the list of settings that GNOME has implemented (perharps there are 
more settings than that, I don't know, that stuff is simply _not_ documented 
in OpenOffice.org). For each setting, there's a symbolic name, the name of 
the setting in GNOME gconf, the name of the setting in OpenOffice.org, and 
the data type.

Would you accept to review that list and for each entry, give the KDE 
equivalent? That would make my work much easier.

Also, any comment on this project is welcome.
