disable hibernate and keymap on thin clients

[Clay Berlo]

Just a *small* note:  trying this on my server resulted in users not
being able to login to GNOME.  Removing gnome-power-management also took
gnome-session out!  Reinstalling gnome-session brings the power package
back, as well...

gconf seems to be the best way to work this out.  Basically, set a
mandatory entry, as Oliver mentioned.  With my config, as soon as users
select "Quit" they are logged off (no confirmation or options given).
