Hello, Danny --
I would like to point out that you are NOT posting properly.  First of 
all, you "hijacked" someone else's message instead of properly posting 
your own "as such".  Secondly, you should not be posting to both a 
Gnome list (Maybe you are NOT doing this!) and a KDE list -- when your 
environment is neither; you are ENTIRELY off-topic!  Thirdly, most of 
the people on this list read mixed-case English very well -- "Yelling" 
(by using all upper-case) simply is NOT appropriate.  Fourthly, if your 
problem is with your system administrator, I suggest that you contact 
your system administrator (or your supervisor!).  I sense that he (or 
she) has substantial reason for most of the restrictions imposed.  And 
NOBODY on this list is going to try to tell you how to circumvent your 
authorities, even if some of us might possibly agree that a particular 
restriction is not appropriate!
