Re: KDE remove menu item

From repositories:

kiosktool - tool to configure the KDE kiosk framework

A Point&Click tool for system administrators to enable
KDE's KIOSK features or otherwise preconfigure KDE for
groups of users.

Note / Warning
Kiosktool is administrator tool, it needs root rights /1/ (kdesudo/kdesu). Be careful !


Starting kiosktool:
Press Alt + F2 and type kdesudo kiosktool (or kdesu kiosktool, depends Kubuntu version /2/)


Disabling Lock Session

Kiosk Admin Tool > Setup Profile > General (Setup Component) > Disable Lock Screen option > Finished > Finished. Log out - restart x - log in.


Removing Switch User

It seems that "change user" is part of the KDM (kde display manager) and only way to remove "change user" is to use another display manager. More of this:

You can run Kubuntu with GDM (gnome display manager) /3/:
Install gdm and you can easily change default display manager:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm

or

sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm

And choose your display manager.
