[wp-hackers] Possible to deactivate Dashboard-Widgets?

[Frank Bueltge]

It give users she use WordPress for more as write a post. I have write
a plugin to deactivate areas and menu-points in the admin. I set this
for the different userrights.
I will reduce the admin at only the functions for the users - how the
user this used.
