1
The Xfce session manager supports the KIOSK mode introduced with libxfce4util
 
2
4.1.13. It provides the following KIOSK capabilities:
 
3
 
 
4
        CustomizeSplash         whether or not the user is allowed to customize
 
5
                                the splash screen.
 
6
 
 
7
        CustomizeChooser        whether or not the user is allowed to customize
 
8
                                the session chooser settings
 
9
 
 
10
        CustomizeLogout         whether or not the user is allowed to customize
 
11
                                the logout settings
 
12
 
 
13
        CustomizeCompatibility  whether or not the user is allowed to customize
 
14
                                the compatibility settings (KDE/Gnome compat)
 
15
 
 
16
        CustomizeSecurity       whether or not the user is allowed to customize
 
17
                                the security settings. This is one of the most
 
18
                                IMPORTANT settings, since it prevents users
 
19
                                (actually libICE) from binding to a TCP port.
 
20
 
 
21
        Shutdown                whether or not the user is allowed to shutdown
 
22
                                (reboot or poweroff) the system. If a user lacks
 
23
                                this capability the reboot and poweroff options
 
24
                                in the shutdown dialog will be greyed out.
 
25
 
 
26
So a sample xfce4-session section in your kioskrc might look like this:
 
27
 
 
28
--- snip ---
 
29
[xfce4-session]
 
30
CustomizeSplash=ALL
 
31
CustomizeChooser=ALL
 
32
CustomizeLogout=ALL
 
33
CustomizeCompatibility=%wheel
 
34
CustomizeSecurity=NONE
 
35
Shutdown=%wheel
 
36
--- snip ---
 
37
 
 
38
This allows all users to change their splash, chooser and logout settings, but
 
39
allows only users in the group wheel to customize the compatibility settings
 
40
and shutdown the system. No one will be allowed to adjust the security settings.
