>Note that these are not requirements for the applications that run under KDE.
|
|
Every application should make sure by itself, that these requirements are met.
|
|
It is known, that of course many applications have an Open File Dialog, and
|
|
thus could modify Files under .kde and so make it possible to run arbitrary
|
|
commands.

CLASS="ENVAR"
|
|
>KDE_MODE</TT
|
|
> is
|
|
set to ``restricted''. If it is not set, a normal KDE Desktop should open.
|
|
|
|
It follows, that the user can only run applications that are found in
|
|
the Application menu. So the administrator must be able to provide the
|
|
applications. A tool is needed to add, remove and modify entries in
|
|
the menu.</P
