proposal: internet-cafe software

[Ernst Persson]

Why hasn't anyone mentioned Pessulus here?!

From: http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=1082

About pessulus
pessulus is a lockdown editor for GNOME, written in python.
pessulus enables administrators to set mandatory settings in GConf. The
users can not change these settings.
Use of pessulus can be useful on computers that are open to use by everyone,
e.g. in an internet cafe.
pessulus is included in the GNOME admin suite since GNOME 2.14.
