  1. Best Answer

    You can disable options from the logout menu in xfce4-settings-editor.

    From the terminal, you can use xfconf-query, i.e. as in

    xfconf-query -c xfce4-session -np '/shutdown/ShowSuspend' -t 'bool' -s 'false'
xfconf-query -c xfce4-session -np '/shutdown/ShowHibernate' -t 'bool' -s 'false'

    to remove "Suspend" and "Hibernate" options, respectively.

    This does not disable these possibilities, it just removes the options from the dialog.

  2. This can be done by changing parameters in Xfce's kiosk mode related files.

    For example, to remove the Save Session button, follow these steps.

    1. From the terminal, create a directory sudo mkdir -v /etc/xdg/xfce4/kiosk
    2. Next, create this file: sudo touch /etc/xdg/xfce4/kiosk/kioskrc
    3. Edit the file and add the following lines:
        [xfce4-session]
    SaveSession=NONE
    1. Reboot your computer.

    The option for saving your sessions will no longer be on the logout session menu.

    You will need to take a look at the documentation for other customization options.
