Kiosk is probably what you want, it allows you to restrict a large 
amount of stuff on the KDE desktop and is exactly for that kind or

Setting up FreeNX to use kiosk should be really straightforward and more 
or less a 'standard' configuration if such thing exists.

what we can be.  Within one more human lifespan, we will have changed 
ourselves unrecognizably. - Greg Bear
