Bug Description

Hey

Locking the system fails, when the password dialog is visible.
When ask for password, gnome-panel appears.
And this enables the entire system, as if no lock where in action!
One thing that can be done, among others, is to shutdown Rhythmbox via "System mopnitor". Then the lock is completely disabled.

In other words, the effect of the plug-in is lost, if a guest knows this.

I have just made a 0.4 release that removes the password dialog and instead adds a bar to the main window. This removes the ability to get out of the party mode when trying to unlock, but any other dialog the user is able to open will make it possible to get out. I have tried to disable most of the menu items that open up a dialog, but there is some things that I don't know how to disable, if it is even possible. Fx. when left clicking the "Music" item in the tree view.

Is it possible to hide the entire top panel (the one with Play/Previous/Next/Repeat...)?
To solve the other dialogs, is it possible to disable right-clicks (secondary clicks) in general?

You can hide the toolbar from the view menu. If you want to hide the menu bar, you can do that in the Party Lockdown preferences. I'll try to see if I can disable right click all together, but I'm not quite sure if it is possible.

English:
It's also worth mentioning, that Gnome-DO apears on top off Rhythmnbox, after using the keyboard shortcut.
This is critical if terminal commands is enabled in Gnome-DO.

Dansk:
Det er også værd at nævne, at Gnome-Do lægger sig oven på Rhythmnbox, efter brug af genvejs tasten.
Dette er kritisk hvis terminal kommandoer er aktiveret i Gnome-DO.
