[TYPO3-english] frontend edit icons visible even without rights to edit

Hi,

TYPO3 6.2.x and a question of frontend editing usability.

I have a site where there is only one backend layout. The header and 
footer sections are editable too and they are slided=inherited into sub 
pages. In practice this means that logos and etc. are inserted in the 
root page and inherited into sub pages and everything is easily changed 
or updated without touching the template. These main areas - header and 
footer - are restricted from normal editors, only admins can edit these 
areas.

I don't want to show these main areas for editors who don't have access 
to edit them. With WEB/Page module I can do it with backend layout 
conditions. But with WEB/View module the areas are there with edit 
icons. After clickin the edit icon, the editor gets error: Sorry, you 
didn't have proper permissions to perform this change.

IMHO the edit icons shouldn't be there at all, if backend user has no 
rights to edit, but how can I achieve that? Now my backend user tsconfig is:

admPanel {
  enable.edit = 1
  module.edit.forceDisplayIcons = 0
  module.edit.forceDisplayFieldIcons = 0
  enable.preview = 1
  override.preview.showHiddenPages = 0
  override.preview.showHiddenRecords = 0
  override.edit.displayFieldIcons = 0
  override.edit.displayIcons = 0
  module.preview = 1
  hide = 0
}
