[CentOS] Gnome 3 on centos 7

Hi all - almost have my migration to Centos 7 done...

My last piece is finding a way to keep menus away from users on Gnome 3.

gsettings  took me pretty far, to remap gconf-tool to gsettings.

I also removed two packages
gnome-shell-extension-places-menu
gnome-shell-extension-app-menu

This removed the Places and Apps menu options in the top panel.

However - when doing this now I see the menu choice for "Activities".

I am wondering if anyone knows how to remove that or make it
non-functional...
You can click on it and run a "terminal" which I do not desire.

Thanks,

jerry
