Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

Hello,
I installed Ubuntu 9.04 (gnome-panel 1.2.26.0) on a kind of public computer with just one user who is logged in by default and I don't want this user to be able to log out, he only should be able to shut down.
I played around with some gconf keys and I observed that both the keys
/apps/panel/global/disable_lock_screen and /apps/panel/global/disable_log_out do not cause any effect.
The key /desktop/gnome/lockdown/disable_lock_screen works as intended. So there is this alternative to disable screen locks.
Is there a workaround which allows to disable logging out?
Thanks in advance
Volker van Nek

For me both disable_lock_screen and disable_log_out options works as supposed on current Jaunty - but only for main menu, on fast-user-switch-applet (in top right corner by default) this has no effect - which is clearly bug 358565.

Changed in gnome-panel (Ubuntu):
