Pessulus is a lockdown editor:

"pessulus enables the system administrator to set mandatory settings in
GConf, which apply to all users, restricting what they can do, which may
be of particular usefulness for kiosks (internet cafes, for example).

Examples of what can be locked down are the panels (no changes in the
panel configuration are allowed, locking their position and their
contents), some of their functions individually (disabling screen
locking and log out), the web browser (disabling specific protocols,
arbitrary URLs, forcing the user to be in fullscreen mode), among many
others."

Follow the link on the sabayon package page:
http://live.gnome.org/Sabayon

"Integrating Pessulus into Sabayon
This is a to-do list to move Pessulus under the Sabayon source tree, and
yet be able to run Pessulus as a standalone tool. 

      * Move the sources into the Sabayon tree (not done). How do we
        preserve the SVN history? Can we copy some files on the SVN
        server, or is there a more automatic way? 
      * Merge the translations into sabayon/po (not done). 
      * Move the .desktop file from Pessulus (not done). 
      * Update AUTHORS, MAINTAINERS, READMEs/TODOs, etc. 
      * Move pessulus/ChangeLog to sabayon/ChangeLog.pessulus-old 
        
      * Move the Pessulus page's contents into this page. 
        
      * Close bug 346890, which is about updating Sabayon to the latest
        Pessulus. 
        

STATUS
      * 2007-07-12: Tagged Pessulus with PESSULUS_BEFORE_MOVE_TO_SABAYON
        (tag revision 309). Tagged Sabayon with
        SABAYON_BEFORE_PESSSULUS_MOVED_IN (tag revision 762)."
