<taking the hat of kernel hacker off> <putting the hat of sysadmin on> ... then GNOME can take a hike. No matter what mechanisms are there. It just should not be done. If you want a program with delusions of OShood - fine, but some of us just fscking had it with EMACS. And that's completely regardless of the kernel/userland mechanisms - doing that is Wrong. Any program that wants to do that deserves only one treatment: % cat /usr/bin/foo #!/bin/sh echo "foo: banned on that system. Rationale: blatant misdesign." ^D % chattr +i /usr/bin/foo followed by rm on all other files it had installed. And that goes for any program - not just GNOME.
