Hi list and Waldo,

- thank you!

- that did it! I edited /var/lib/kde-profiles/profile2/share/config/kdesktoprc 
as per instructed. And I noticed that the [$i] that does the trick was NOT in 
place despite I told kiosktool to lock down the screensavers. Anyway, I'm 
smiling now :-)

Would it not be possible to setup a desktop with all icons, backgrounds, 
colours and all, and then copy the /home/user/.kde/share/config/ files 
to /var/lib/kde-profiles/profile2/share/config and then manually insert the 
locking [$i] in all proper places in all files? 

As I've read the KDE documentation, a "[$i]" in a section-header blocks all in 
that section, whereas a "[$i]" in lines in a section block that particular 
feature?

I think our problems are caused by the fact that our system runs with "secure" 
file permissions on SuSE9.2, not "easy" or "paranoid". I'll have to look into 
it. Also, should I not be able to do a "xhost +", su to root and fire up 
kiosktool manually?
