Sounds reasonable. I've posted the patch upstream on the referenced bug report (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=417853) Will wait for upstream feedback. This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion, but this component is not scheduled to be updated in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. If you would like this request to be reviewed for the next minor release, ask your support representative to set the next rhel-x.y flag to "?". Thank you for submitting this issue for consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux. After consideration, Red Hat does not plan to incorporate the suggested capability in a future release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. If you would like Red Hat to re-consider your feature request, please re-open the request via appropriate support channels and provide additional supporting details about the importance of this issue. |
Created attachment 358567 [details] Patch for configurable Places menu (new GConf key 'disable_places_menu') Description of problem: It is not possible to hide the "Places" entry from the menu bar without modifing the source. Even if lockdown settings are enabled, the "Places" menu is still shown and entries are offered to access the local filesystem, network shares and so on ... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.16.1-7.el5 How reproducible: Always (no config option to remove/hide "Places" menu) Steps to Reproduce: 1. -- 2. -- 3. -- Expected results: It should be possible to hide the "Places" menu. Additional info: I attached a patch file (tested with version gnome-panel-2.16.1-7.el5) which introduces a new GConf key '/apps/panel/global/disable_places_menu'. I tried my best to implement this functionality (I'm not a C programmer) and mimicked existing code for the 'disable_force_quit' key.
