What I originally was looking for, is a way for kiosk users to shut down the system cleanly from the GUI. What works now is: CTRL + q (shuts down Galeon and X) and CTRL + ALT + DEL (does 'shutdown -h') and power off. No too elegant, but does seem to work ;-) With kind regards. -- Erik van der Meulen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
