Application menu design and desktop lockdown
Another desktop standardization topic to consider is the application menu 
design. In enterprise environments users do not need five different applications 
appearing in their menus that do basically the same thing. This approach has 
been taken by Ximian for quite some time, by simplifying the menu structure a lot 
(see Figure 4 3 for choosing the standard GNOME video conferencing 
application GnomeMeeting, using the Video Conferencing launcher).

In fully controlled environments you may want to reduce menu selections even 
further and lock them down so that the user cannot make changes to his 
configuration (like adding or changing panel applets, desktop launchers, menu 
entries, or background images). KDE provides the 
Kiosk
 framework to restrict 
the capabilities of the KDE environment. Although primarily designed for 
unattended operation of kiosk terminals, these features can also be very 
valuable in enterprise settings where a more controlled environment is desired. 
We will discuss the Kiosk framework in 5.1,  KDE Kiosk framework  on page 90.
