Re: disable shutdown in System menu in gnome (not splash screen)

Hello all,
I cannot believe how difficult this is to figure out. In Debian Lenny,
Shut Down appears in the System menu in the top panel by default, for
all users. In Debian Squeeze, this does not appear to be the case. I
have looked in every gnome configuration file and gui I can think of,
but can't figure out how to remove Shut Down from this menu. I thought
I had finally found it in /etc/xdg/menus/gnome-settings.menu, so I
tried copying the Squeeze version of that file to my Lenny
installation, but it seemed to have no effect. I can't believe that
the default is to have Shut Down appear in the menu, just under Log
Out, for normal users. I am trying to remove it because I have had
users accidentally shutdown machines when trying to log out. I am also
amazed at how hard it is to figure out how to remove this. Help!
thanks,
maria
My 2 cents : set the appropriate permissions/groups for the users so
they are not allowed to shutdown the machine.
