  <title>Disable file saving</title>

  <p>You can disable the <gui>Save</gui> and <gui>Save As</gui> dialogs. This
  can be useful if you are giving temporary access to a user or you do not want
  the user to save files to the computer.</p>

  <note style="warning">
    <p>This feature will only work in applications which support it! Not all
    GNOME and third party applications have this feature enabled. These changes
    will have no effect on applications which do not support this feature.</p>
  </note>
