Re: Lock specific workspace

[Leslie S Satenstein <lsatenstein yahoo com>]

Creating a workspace as a home directory of another user essentially locks it.

Want a specific user to have access to that other's home directory, you can give user group access to other's home directory. That will do it.

But giving him read-only access also means rights to copy.

If you want usage only, you can do it other ways, via other Linux facilities.

Isn't that what you could do with VNC booting up several sessions on the same user? Anyway, it doesn't work well with gnome-shell to have more than DE for one user... I think it's some dbus thing

Hi everyone,

 

I have enjoyed using gnome shell since it came out, and would like to first thank you for your great work.

 

I sent a similar message to the nautilus-gnome list, and was about to include this suggestion in that message, but then realized it should be posted to a separate list than the nautilus list.

 

This is my first time posting on these lists, but I was wondering if anyone suggested the following:

 

Having the option of making workspace behave independently:

 

1 - Being able to lock each workspace at will, and that workspace cannot be viewed an what is on it unless password is given

 

2 - Being able to have more than one user, each using a separate worspace, and this can behave like running a subuser for the workspace, under a main user for the whole desktop

 

3 - Being ale to logout from subuser, and then the workspace returns as belonging to the main user

 

This can be nice for a quick operation without having to logout of the current desktop session for example.

 

It comes close to multiseat, but not fully.

 

Hope this is a useful idea.

 

Thanks again for your time
