Business Catalyst: How to stop sections from being editable

Business Catalyst arbitrarily decides to make sections editable with their "Site Editor" (was "In-Context-Editor").  They pick odd portions: banner headings, logos, etc.  They give a rather lame mechanism to remove these, but it doesn't always work, e.g. if the editable-section happens to be just an image.

To remove the in-context-editing, create a "content module" from the section of the template that is wrongly editable, load the piece of code to that and "Add modules to the Template".
Specifically in the Admin dashboard, top menu Admin, Manage Site-Wide Templates...
Manage Content Holders is in the same general area.

Update 10/18/2011:  Also try removing "permission" to manipulate the template in the Role for the User level.
