As i know kiosktool modifies /etc/kderc og /etc/kde-profiles(dir) under
the profiles dir it places lockdowned config files. however I never got the
/etc/kderc approach to work. If you just need a systemwide lockdown i
can recommend to look at the files in /etc/kde-profiles and then manualy
move them into the global kde config dir which in my case (gentoo) was
/usr/kde/3.2/share/config/ . Please note that placing a global lockdown
([$i] in first line) on kdeglobals when it contains a [General] group is
a very bad idea.
