Derek, and anyone else who is listening, the above is actually a good enough idea to actually consider implementing. It allows for a passwd-protected login to the app, and it allows the OS to handle all of the 'other aspects' of security. I'm cc'ing gnome-office, as surely this comes up often enough for other apps as well ... [background: user wants to leave a desktop perma-logged in, xlock-off, so wife/kids/parents can use, but wants to passwd protect or possibly encrypt certain things.] -- pub 1024D/01045933 2001-02-01 Linas Vepstas (Labas!) <[email protected]> PGP Key fingerprint = 8305 2521 6000 0B5E 8984 3F54 64A9 9A82 0104 5933
