Hi there,

I would like to apply KDE as a locked-down desktop in a control room.
For this, I would like to be able to edit the right-mouse-button context menu.
In KDE SC 4.10 I could do it partially using the "Desktop Settings" : I can enable/disable items in the "Standard Menu". Yet this is not enough for me
What I would need in addition is to add my custom entries to this menu (that would result in starting some applications).

In fact I would need this customization to work with KDE-4.3.4 (the one distributed with RHEL/CentOS/ScientificLinux 6.4), which does not seem to allow for editing the mouse actions...

Could you, please, point me to any up-to-date documentation or examples of how a "kiosk mode" could effectively be achieved with modern KDE version (the articles about KioskMode on TechBase refer to KDE-3...)
I suppose I'd need to edit ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc (?), yet I haven't found any documentation w.r.t the syntax)

thank you in advance,
Piotr

The file plasma-desktop-appletsrc is not particularly subject to the Kiosk framework unfortunately, due to it's design.

With regards to your request - to the best of my knowledge you cannot add any actions to the menu, particularly with the code in KDE 4.3.
You could however author your own mouse menu plugin, which would present the items you desire.

Your best bet with these plugins is on api.kde.org, and in the current code however though.
