At school I have installed on several Macs Quickeys and (in system 4.2) made
it invisible and removed the control pannel after I configured Quickeys.  This
allowed me to then make all of the applications on the hard drives invisible.
This was a great boon since what you can't see you can't delete or copy and
all that good such (unless you know how, and that is not the case at this
stage in the game, it is a closely guarded secret.  In fact, to my knowledge
the files are still on one drive and I am the only one who knows about them...)
and all we do is have a command-shift list next to the computer saying that if
you want to use MacWrite hit this and if you want to use that hit this sequence
and it all works quite well.  So I can say truthfully that Quickeys and General
and Mouse and Keyboard will all work without the Control Pannel being
installed.  Hope this helps answer your question.
