"No, seriously. Don't touch that."

Tired of the weekly "Hey, why does the front page look different?" or "Where are all the events?", I went in search for a way to prevent my site editors from changing the settings of the display menu.

Martin Aspeli to the rescue! He points out that the (vaguely-named) "Modify view template" permission controls who can change the display of a content object. Disabling that for the Editor role for certain pages now prevents them from accidentally unsetting default content items or changing the layout and cuts down on my grumbling.
