Kiosk Admin Tool
A Point&Click tool for system administrators to enable
KDE\'s KIOSK features or otherwise preconfigure KDE for
groups of users.
An example of what I am and can achieve:
System administrators typically spend a lot of their time fixing trivial problems
for users who have accidently changed their settings in some way. When an inexper
ienced user moves a desktop icon into the wastebin or sets a mimetype to open wit
h the wrong programme they may be unable to reset their changes. Calls to the sys
tem administrator for help are a poor use of everyone\'s time. It would be better
if the user had never been able to make undesirable changes.
Perhaps you just want to set up a GNU/Linux desktop for your grandmother but she
keeps changing the layout of the application toolbars without meaning to. The new
look confuses her so much that she calls you all the time asking for help, or wor
se, she gives up on GNU/Linux or her computer. Wouldn\'t it be great if you could
protect your grandmother from herself?
For computers in a public setting such as an internet cafe or library these probl
ems turn into more than just timewasters, they can prevent others from using the
machine or cause distress as with the common anecdote of a library where a script
kiddy had changed the background wallpaper on all the machines to pornographic photos.
