Hi,

[sorry for my non-reader-friendly english]

I am working in a public library and I am using Xfce4 (Debian Sid packages) for all the public computers. Till now, kiosk mode was working very well with these 2 files :

/etc/xdg/xfce4/kiosk/kioskrc
(to choose which users can customize the panel)

and

/etc/xdg/xfce4/panel/contents.xml.fr
(panel content and appearence)

Yesterday, I did the upgrade to Xfce 4.3.90.1-2. Everything went quite well. I made a panel for public users and succeded to use this panel for the kiosk mode by copying all the ~/.config/xfce4/panel/*.rc files and ~/.config/xfce4/panel/panels.xml to /etc/xdg/xfce4/panel/

The problem is : now, public users can right-click on the panels and change its content.

Just if needed, here is what is in my kioskrc file :

[xfce4-panel]

Sounds like the panel no longer uses the kiosk functions. Jasper?

I can't check at this moment, but it really should. I must admit I haven't tested kiosk mode in quite a while. I need to look into this.

Ok, should be fixed in SVN revision 22442, or in the next beta release. Thanks.
