====== Kiosk Mode ======
Some components of Xfce have support for kiosk mode. This can be enabled by creating and modifying the system kioskrc file found at:

  ${sysconfdir}/xdg/xfce4/kiosk/kioskrc

By default, ${sysconfdir} points to /etc

===== Xfce4 Panel =====

  [xfce4-panel]
  CustomizePanel=%powerusers,foo

  * CustomizePanel
This allows only users in the group powerusers and the user foo to customize their panels.

===== Xfce4 Session =====

  [xfce4-session]
  CustomizeSplash=ALL
  CustomizeChooser=ALL
  CustomizeLogout=ALL
  CustomizeCompatibility=%wheel
  Shutdown=%wheel
  CustomizeSecurity=NONE

This allows all users to change their splash, chooser and logout settings, but allows only users in the group wheel to customize the compatibility settings and shutdown the system. No one will be allowed to adjust the security settings.

The session manager supports the following KIOSK capabilities:

  * CustomizeSplash
  Whether or not the user is allowed to customize the splash screen.

  * CustomizeChooser

  UserMenu=%wheel
  CustomizeBackdrop=ALL
  CustomizeDesktopMenu=%wheel
  CustomizeWindowlist=NONE
  CustomizeDesktopIcons=brian

  * UserMenu

  * CustomizeBackdrop
  Whether or not to allow user modifications to the desktop backdrop.  If not, the Backdrop settings panel will be greyed out.

  * CustomizeDesktopMenu
