And there's the problem :)

KioskTool operates on the profiles in /etc/kde-profile (the default) or any 
other directory that you specify, and *NOT* your own customizations in 
~/.kde.

What you should do is to move all settings files from ~/.kde to the profile 
before you start KioskTool. Ideally you should probably use two user 
accounts, one for creating the initial template and one for evaluating the 
result.

I agree that this is not really intuitive, especially since KioskTool doesn't 
have a GUI for importing settings. If someone has enough spare time to 
implement it I'm sure that Waldo will accept patches :)
