Subject: [gentoo-user] How would I disable Flash (oand other things) for a single account?

Is it possible to shut off all multimedia stuff for a single account?
It's doesn't have to be securely off, just off, so if it cannot be
done by meddling with group membership then doing something in a root
owned bash file that executes when the user logs in even that's fine
with me. (Uh - even I don't know much about what Linux/Gnome does when
a user logs in so I'll get to learn a bit also!)

I've removed the user account from the audio, video and games groups.
When playing YouTube stuff sound is gone but the Flash video is still
there. Can I stop that from working. maybe by changing paths if
there's not an easier way to do it?

Thanks,
Mark
