Ok, I'll try to answer your questions, but please, it would be better if you shared your doubts/critics/questions/advices with all list members. This way, the one with the same doubts/questions that you came up with will also be helped and, as you, can start helping others on the near future. This is the free/open source paradigm I think. Now let's focus on what you have:

To erase/enable one of the main menus (the ones that appear when you click the little foot) just right click your mouse over the foot and choose properties. There will appear a window that have 3 radio-button like fields on the top indicating "Global main menu" "main menu" and "normal menu". As a normal user, you can enable/disable everything that was enabled by the root user on your machine. This is achieved by choosing "main menu" and then selecting the menus you want to have when you click the small-foot icon on your panel. If you do it as root, and wants to have everyone to have the same limitations/abilities, click on "Global main menu" and do the same thing. Finally, if you choose the tab icons, you will be able to change the small-foot icon for the main menu to something you would prefer. That's really up to you.

I'm not certain that I understood your question, maybe someone can put some light in here?! Why would you want to have 2 gdm sessions? Maybe you mean Gnome sessions, isn't it?!? In either case, I wouldn't know how to do it, or else if it can be done. I know you can have remote login, but that doesn't seem to solve your problem... Can you examplify a situation for me?

	Cheers, Andre.
