Aleix,

I suppose I could achieve something similar by making the "General" 
containment immutable. Example:

    [General][$i]
    immutability=2

However, the only thing I'm sure that I need to be immutable under 
General is the "2" value for immutability. I'm not sure what else gets 
written to that containment over time and I don't have an urgent need to 
lock any of it down.

Really all I'm trying to do is have widgets locked when a user logs out. 
So far, setting immutability[$i]=2 is the easiest way I've found to 
accomplish that.

If someone has another idea, I'm open to suggestions.
