Hi all,

we have in mEDUXa a problem related with kiosk configurations:

We have restricted some actions to our 5 profiles (2 for students, 2 for 
teachers and 1 for computer lab administrators) using, among others,  
kdeglobals. The point is that when a user configure a mail account in kmail 
and then closes and opens again the app, all user's mail account 
configurations get lost.

If we pass kdeglobals to user's home, it does work but by doing this users can 
change the configurations. After reading kiosk mode documentation, I still 
don't understand how to configure kdeglobals so it do not affects kmail or 
kmail works properly.

This is 
our /local/share/kde-profile/meduxa_prof_basico/share/config/kdeglobals

I don't see anything that should affect to kmail so I guess we haven't get the 
correct idea of how apps works related with jiosk mode.

Is there some doc I can pass to our techicians about these?

K mail is such a popular app that I suppose somebody has face this problem 
before

Thanks
