Hi,
Using Linux Mint 17.1.
I tried to setup Kiosk mode for the panel : I don't want a user to be able to remove items in the panel.
And I ended with the same issue as descrbed here : http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=9266
The final panel appearance is a mix between my panel and the default panel (the one I got when first running Linux).
- Why isn't it as easy as described in XFCE Wiki ?!
https://wiki.xfce.org/howto/kiosk_mode
Why putting this :
[xfce4-session]
SaveSession=NONEin the kioskrc works fine, and this :
[xfce4-panel]
CustomizePanel=rootdoesn't work ?
- Why is there a mix between default and customized panel when moving config files to xdg folder ? Why is it so hard (impossible ?) to find documentation that explains how it works ?
So, the goal of this bug report :
Please give us a way to setup the Kiosk mode in an easy (KISS principle) and working way. The Kioskrc file is a good idea, but it is partially broken.
Best regards.
