Not from what I can see. 

Also, I'll have to revise my problem description. After some further
testing, it turns out that only parts of the settings set with
kiosktool has problems. Most notably, the background settings doesn't
seem to "take", but other settings, such as restrictions on "run"
command etc. do work.

Hmm.. It looks like KDE first reads my profile directory, then reads
configuration from /usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings, which is part
of the package 'kubuntu-default-settings'. I think I'm approaching the
core of the problem here. 

I'll be back when I know more.
