This is something more people probably would like - leaving the console for 
the admins and prohibiting it from the users.

My best bet is a custom PAM module that refuses console or remote logins from 
certain accounts, although a more 'KDE-ish' solution would be favourable. 
Unfortunately KDM login doesn't seem to work either when the shell is set to 
/usr/bin/false or something similar. If I have time later today I'll try to 
play around a bit with this since I could use it for a small kiosk project at 
work too, but that one has a touch screen and no keyboard, so it's not 
exactly top prio to disable ctrl-alt-fX ;-)
