Hiding Shutdown/reboot in logout dialog and possible security issue

[Israel]

Hi Anders,
I misunderstood you, I thought you meant the shutdown buttons in lightdm.
But, you are meaning the logout dialog.  It was unclear to me what you
meant.

I am sorry for misunderstanding you, now I see!!!  Thanks for your reply!

You may be able to edit the shutdown menu, to simply log out the user,
though you may be right, there could be no way to do what you are
looking for.
I made the exec bold...

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Shutdown
Name[zh_TW]=關機
Comment=Shutdown or Reboot
Icon=system-shutdown-panel
Exec=*lxsession-default quit*
NoDisplay=true


But I expect, that if you can do it easily with XFCE, then that is the
proper choice for your scenario.  It is always so wonderful to have
choices!!
We can run the same OS with different DE for different needs!

Thanks for mailing us back.  It is a good lesson to me, that I need ask
more questions to understand much better what someone is talking about
SPECIFICALLY :)
