i think if you enable this apps/panel/lobal/locked_down , it will do the job !!!

context menu is disabled and panel right click is disabled.

now the Desktop or panel  must not have any thing  except (my application icon, logout/shutdown  icon, network status icon).

Please help in this regard.

  1. Open the configuration editor in gnome (it should be in System Tools of your main menu) or run gconf-editor
   2. In the configuration editor go to apps > panel > objects > find the object for your menu (an easy way to spot the correct object is that it will have "Main Menu" in the tool tip section).
   3. Set the path to your icon in the "Custom_Icon" field.
   4. Check "Use_Custom_Icon" a little ways down.
   5. The panel should reload momemtarily, if not, open a terminal window and type: $ killall gnome-panel

Thank you very much for the help santosh.
I tried all this in Fedora14 GNOME and working fine.
but the problem is my application is dependent on nfs
and Fedora 14 GNOME was unable to mount the nfs file system.

while the Same Fedora 14 Xfce Desktop was able to mount nfs file system.
is this bug in Fedora 14 Gnome ??

If possible how can apply the same settings context menu disable and right click on panel on
Fedora 14 Xfce, any help is appreciated.
