Kiosk Operation

Setting up a server with student access, with various options you don't want the students mucking with (or maybe just sensible defaults).

• install package 'kiosktool' to save configurations for all users.
  • Suggestions:
    1. ) 'disable all tasks and applications that require root' in general
    2. ) x animate buttons in 'window decorations' in 'theming'
    3. ) x 'enable gui effects' in 'effects' in 'style' in 'theming'
    4. ) lock down proxy settings in 'setup network proxy'
    5. ) screen saver: lock down, disable opengl-based, setup screen saver to blank.
