Firefox has its own lockdown framework. I mentioned it before, but this time 
I'll change the subject so others can find it more easily.

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

For OOo I have no idea. Perhaps the kde-ified OOo that SUSE ships is actually 
also capable of Kiosk restrictions? At least the KIO restrictions on opening 
files and urls might very well work. Action restrictions and restrictions on 
launching external commands are harder, did anyone ever investigate this?
