Hi list,
- in the old KDE3.n, one was able to lock-down what users could do in/with the desktop. Either by using kiosktool or by hand editing various config files.
- Are there any mechanisms in KDE4 that will allow one to do the same kind of thing?
Yes, the config file kiosk mechanism works the same way in kde4 as it did in kde3.
Also, kiosktool is available

Hi Anders and list,
- thank you for the info.
- but when in YaST (I'm on KDE4.3.1 after much fighting), I search for Kiosktool, it's there in the form of kiosktool4. I take it, that that's for KDE4.
If I select it for installation, I get exactly 228 dependency errors. So I back out again...
I take it, there is no kiosktool for KDE4.3.1 as yet?
- which is absolutely ok, If only it's in the pipeline :-)
Let's look a bit closer: $ zypper se -s kiosk Loading repository data... Reading installed packages...
