Re: [Bug 949] KDM should not allow shutdown from the thin clients

it is relatively easy to avoid this "human bug" entirely by disabling
the shutdown menu for KDM. 

it would seem confusing to remember when it is ok to use (standalone
machines), and not (thin clients).  avoiding the opportunity to make an
understandable mistake would probably be a good thing.

it also seems really bad to type the root password over a very insecure
XDMCP connection, so would be good to disable this for other security
reasons...

live well,
