[Kde-kiosk] Disable key combinations

I would suggest looking to using xmodmap which configures the keyboard and 
mouse on
start-up. do a "man" on xmodmap, you can simply add a shell script in the 
users start up
folder (protect it of course). It is a simple, clean, powerful way to 
disable or remap everything.
for example in the shell script having

#! /bin/sh

! Remaps F1 Key to NOTHING
xmodmap -e "keycode 67= 0x0000"


- you can do this for all keys. look in to xmodmap and all of its 
functionality!!

quote of the month:
"I got every ingredient, all I need is the courage Like I already got the 
beat, all I need is the words
Got the urge, suddenly it's a surge Suddenly a new burst of energy is 
occured."

Hi Jenn,

The most straight forward way is probably to go to the Control Panel ->
Regional & Accessibility -> Keyboard Shortcuts and start turning them
off
there.

Does this mean we can assume that we're going to start seeing KDE based
kiosks
at Lowes stores? :)
