I think Waldo's new Kiosk framework in KDE 3 will allow you to lock down most 
of the settings stuff. Much more complicated will be to prevent users from 
accessing the shell, since there are a _lot_ of ways to launch external 
commands from a Unix app. No idea how (or even if) you could lock that down.
