Hi Everyone,

I'm a systems administrator at the Vanderbilt Advanced Computing Center 
for Research and Education (ACCRE) facility. We are currently working on 
adopting OOD for our cluster users, and I have had a good experience so 
far setting up an initial portal server. This is a really nice product, 
so thank you to the OOD team for all the work building and documenting 
this system.

I will coincidentally be on the OSU campus for the PyOhio python 
conference this weekend, so if anyone would like to have lunch Saturday 
or Sunday and share experiences and notes setting up OOD please let me know.

I have one question for the community: we are using the Xfce4 desktop 
and would like to customize the default panel and menu settings so that 
non-functional icons such as the web browser, hibernate, shutdown, etc 
are removed. I couldn't find anything searching on my own, does anyone 
have any resources or tips for changing the system wide default 
configuration without recompiling? We are using the EPEL RPMs for 
CentOS7 to install Xfce4 on the compute nodes.

Cheers,

Eric
