 * Hi, I’m modding a blog to be used as part of a kids media-training course. I’ve
   used add_theme_page() to create an additional admin page with that allows the
   kids to change stylesheet properties (with color pickers etc.) and upload new
   header images without using the “Theme Editor”.
 * Is there a way I can remove the “Theme Editor” & “Widgets” options without editing
   the admin source? ie. a function equivilent to “remove_theme_page()” – The blogs
   will be auto-updated and I don’t want the options to suddenly re-appear.
 * Thanks.

 * does anybody know of a way to accomplish this — remove certain admin menus — 
   in wp 2.5? custom admin menus plugin does not work with 2.5

 * All you really have to do is to modify the contents of the global $submenu; array.
   There’s an action hook at ‘_admin_menu’ that you can use. It fires right after
   the $submenu is populated.
