And not even the non-technical and elderly! There are so many unknown hot keys and shortcuts that even the technically literate can easily click/press one by accident.
Once I've configured my stuff the way I like it, I want to *lock* *it* *down*. The grief from accidentally clicking something I don't know is much greater than the hassle of unlocking the desktop so I can change it.
But that does require buy-in from apps too. This is something I feel with gentoo - every now and then, and app with a single global config file gets that file updated (postfix, anyone), and gentoo wants to overwrite my config with the default! If I can put my config in a separate, LOCAL config override file, then stuff is not going to get accidentally trashed.
Cheers,
