I'm using the newest version of Ubuntu 8.04 in a workplace enviroment.

Does anyone know how I can go about locking the system down so that the user can not set the desktop background.

Actually had somebody set the desktop background to some scantly clad young woman. This for some reason offended another woman in the workplace and she squeaked.

So now, I want to set this up so that the only thing anybody can do is look at the Internet and that's it.

Thanks
Doug
