shellDBus: Lock down Eval() to be a development tool only (765 bytes, patch)
2011-10-27 21:42 UTC, Jasper St. Pierre (not reading bugmail) 		committed Details | Review

Description Bill Nottingham 2011-10-27 20:05:42 UTC 
Scenario: knowledge-user desktop is to be locked down by the administrators. One of the features they'd like to lock down is the screen recorder.
Comment 1 Florian Müllner 2011-10-27 20:21:30 UTC 
Can't they unset the toggle-recorder keybinding and lock down the setting?
Comment 2 Jasper St. Pierre (not reading bugmail) 2011-10-27 20:50:09 UTC 
They could still enable it through the looking glass. I have a patch for this coming up.
Comment 3 Jasper St. Pierre (not reading bugmail) 2011-10-27 20:59:30 UTC 
Except I don't, because fmuellner told me on IRC that we already have a setting for the looking glass. 'development-tools'.

shellDBus: Lock down Eval() to be a development tool only

There's still a minor hole here:

 $ gdbus call --session --dest org.gnome.Shell --object-path /org/gnome/Shell --method org.gnome.Shell.Eval 'foo'

Someone could potentially access locked down features through here, so let's lock Eval() down to be dev-tools only

Makes sense.
