Yes, I am using genome. This list has  brought to my attention some of 
the lightweight window managers such as ice, fv and flux. I've visited 
their respective sites and in the long term will want to try one of 
these out. For now I've decidedd to
stick with genome and trim down as much as possible. Locking down 
firefox was easy. I've specified the URL
in firefox so it automatically loads. And I've removed the location bar 
also so a user won't be tempted to try out anything
else.

This is my fourth attempt to customize genome switcingh between the 
default and base-installations. I've removed a lot of
options from the applications and the computer settings as well as from 
the desktop panel as my understanding of Ubuntu gradually develops 
during the two weeks.

With firefox very much taken care of, I now turn my attention to 
customizing genome.
I have deleted a lot of icons from the panel and removed some of the 
menus from application and computer settings.
However, I notice that a knowledgeable user can still add options to the 
panels.
I also notice the Run dialogue box from the Applications menu from which 
a knowledgeable user can issue
commands. I want to disable those two features.

Ctrl+Alt+Del has been disabled already.

Once again, I appreciate all the assistance given so far in this 
important project at my University.
The support has been awesome.
