How to disable copy/paste functions in gnome.

[Alan Bort]

Do you mean like disabling the clipboard (control+c/control+v)?

Copyrighted documents should be in a binary format (pdf?) and the reader
should not allow the contents to be copied. However, if you want to disable
copying capabilities like cp/dd/ftp/etc..., that is a whole other story.

In any case, I reckon it is possible, however I'm not certain as to how it
could be done.
