Erik This is exactly what I wanted ! Thanks a lot All you need is the SystemMenu=false statement as above and two small modifications to another file: /usr/share/gdm/themes/CentOSCubes/CentOSCubes.xml The two modifications are: 1. Change line 102 from: <show modes="console"/> to: <show type="reboot" modes="console"/> 2. Change line 118 from: <show modes="console"/> to: <show type="halt" modes="console"/> The lines above both of these should have an item tag refering to the appropriate reboot/halt button. Then restart the gdm. The shutdown and reboot buttons should no longer appear.
