GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 499148
"Change menu" not hidden when /apps/panel/global/locked_down is true
Last modified: 2011-05-06 11:40:40 UTC
Please describe the problem: When setting /apps/panel/global/locked_down to true, the Panel should be locked. This is mostly true. But when right-clicking on the main menu of GNOME, there is still an option "Change menu". Steps to reproduce: 1. Set /apps/panel/global/locked_down to true 2. Right click on the GNOME-main-menu (traditional one, with Applications, Places, System) Actual results: "Change menu" still appears Expected results: "Change menu" should not appear, as the Panel is locked down. Does this happen every time? Yes Other information:
Well, what's the point in locking the desktop down when you can't lock down it completly.. I have respect to the work that has flown into GNOME but why are bugs like this just lying around? It really bugs me as an end user..

Sébastien: thinking about it... If we want to do it correctly, I would think we probably want to tell gnome-menus to not load user data for menus (ie, not load menus files nor desktop files from ~/.config/... and ~/.local/...). What do you think? (it should be easy to add a lockdown mode to gnome-menus)
This appears to be fixed in gnome-panel 3.
Indeed. And thinking about my comment #4, I think it would need another lockdown setting, so let's close this.
