Property locked

Hi.
I try to set a common panel for all users.
This panel must been locked, nobody can change it.
In Settings Editor, there is a column Locked with no access.
Xfconf-query give no option to lock something.
DBus give a method to set a property :

dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.xfce.Xfconf /org/xfce/Xfconf org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable.Introspect

    <method name="Set">
      <arg name="interface" direction="in" type="s"/>
      <arg name="propname" direction="in" type="s"/>
      <arg name="value" direction="in" type="v"/>
    </method>

but there is nothing like

arg name="locked" direction="in" type="b"

DBus give another method :

    <method name="IsPropertyLocked">
      <arg name="channel" type="s" direction="in"/>
      <arg name="property" type="s" direction="in"/>
      <arg name="locked" type="b" direction="out"/>
    </method>

but there is no method LockProperty

How can i do this ?
Thanks.

Re: Property locked

I believe the locked field is read-only. To lock a property, have a look at the kiosk mode documentation. I believe that once it is locked that way, it will show up as locked.
