Re: How to disable copy/paste functions in gnome.

[Alan Bort]

Do you mean like disabling the clipboard (control+c/control+v)?

Copyrighted documents should be in a binary format (pdf?) and the reader should not allow the contents to be copied. However, if you want to disable copying capabilities like cp/dd/ftp/etc..., that is a whole other story. 

In any case, I reckon it is possible, however I'm not certain as to how it could be done.

Yes.. I know it sounds odd... but we want to explore disabling this in
our gnome environment so that students cannot copy intelectual

I know it is not the best way but we would like to know if at least
the possibility exists?

Thanks
