kiosk mode doesn't work at all

[mokrates]

I tried, as documented here:
http://wiki.xfce.org/howto/kiosk_mode
to use the kiosk mode in xubuntu 12.04 LTS with xfce4.8

the only setting that works seems to be

[xfce4-session]
Shutdown=....

i both tried
/etc/xdg/xfce4/kiosk/kioskrc
as well as
/etc/xdg/xdg-xubuntu/xfce4/kiosk/kioskrc

this is really annoying, as it seems to be *the* way for kiosking xfce. If it doesn't work, there should be at least docs to point that out, i think.
i know, some of this is upstream, but i thought, i report it here. for reasons ;)

keep up the good work!

According to your bug description, xfce4-session can be configured with the kiosk mode configuration file, but both xfce4-panel and xfdesktop can not, correct? Can you please attach your kioskrc file, so we can see what you have tried and maybe confirm it?

On top of that, please file an upstream bug report to inform the Xfce team about this problem.

No, I meant not anything can be configured, but the Shutdown-Group for
the xfce-session.
As 4.8. is old now, and I don't have the system anymore (it was a system
we tried to configure for use in a school, and we solved it differently
then), i sadly cannot attach anything anymore.

thanks anyway...
