Apps :: Disable right-click for users



Is there a way to lock down DSL for users so that they can only do what I allow them to do?  I'm basically wanting to have an Internet Kiosk of sorts that goes to our Citrix server.  I've already figured out (with the help of mikshaw, :thumb: ) how to keep Firefox alive, but users can still minimize Firefox and access the desktop.  Can I therefore lock down the desktop so that the right-click menu does not pop up for them?
You might try a smaller window manager without a menu.
Ratpoison, wmii, and evilwm all are very minimal, and I think they can all be configured so the user has very little control over anything but the running application(s).

Which one do you prefer and how do you suggest I incorporate it into DSL?  I'm doing well at learning Linux/DSL, but I still need an occasional nudge in the proper direction.
Maybe you disable it using xmodmap or similar... or maybe try and see if there's a '1' button mouse (ie .xserverrc)?

If you really want to, you don't have to use a wm at all.
i.e.
startx -- firefox

EDIT: Oops, I just read http://damnsmalllinux.org/cgi-bin....t=17499 ... so don't know if my above advice would apply.
