>The requirements for the desktop environment of users in a large
|
|
network environment is often very different to a typical homeuser. The
|
|
number of applications that these users need to run is usually very
|
|
limited, and the users themselves are not very experienced in solving
|
|
computing related problems. The administrators of the network
|
|
therefore need to ensure that the required applications run reliably,
|
|
and can be started by the users with a minimum of hassle. For
|
|
security, stability, and also administrative reasons it is then
|
|
advisable to provide only the absolutely necessary applications and
|
|
functionality.

|
>With the advent of modern desktop technology like KDE, this goal has become
|
|
harder to achieve. Interoperability between different desktop programs, ease
|
|
of configuration by configuration engines, etc. allow the user a great deal
|
|
of control over her/his desktop, which is great when needed. The above large
|
|
network scenario, however, is not addressable in standard KDE. This is where
|
|
the restricted mode tries to fill in the gap.
