[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] How to lock a User in a Sandbox

[From: Aki Teppo]

Hi,

I'm also trying to accomplish the same thing. I want to capture the 
Home-key from application, ie prevent the system to display the desktop 
when the user presses the key.

First, I tried to remove the keysnooper installed by the Hildon framework:
http://maemo.org/lxr/source/hildon-lgpl/hildon-lgpl/hildon-app.c#297

In emulator (i386 SDK and Xephyr) removing that snooper seemed to do the 
trick, but not in the device.

Then I found this in the Hildon Navigator sources:
http://maemo.org/lxr/source/maemo-af-desktop/hildon-navigator/application-switcher.c#1669

Is there some way to prevent Navigator receiving those Home key DBus events?

Br,
Aki
