You have two options:
1) One way is to copy everything from ~/.kde/share/config of that user 
to /etc/kde-profile/guest/share/config

Depending on your changes you may also need to copy some additional files from 
under ~/.kde/share to the same location under /etc/kde-profile/guest/share

2) The other option is to throw away the guest profile and just go to 
~guest/.kde/share/config and make the files in there root owned that you want 
to have locked down.

Cheers,
Waldo
