I have no idea how to lock down Evolution, but I'd say that it should be 
possible now or in the very near future through Novell ZenWorks, given that 
Evolution is also a Novell application.

As for Firefox, the KDE toolset has no support for it, but firefox has its own 
lockdown framework. Search this mailing list's archives for the following 
recent threads:

* [Kde-kiosk] Extra modules for kiosktools
* [Kde-kiosk] Alt F4 disable
