Someone please tell me how to get off this mailing list?  Keep getting about
twenty messages a day.

Sorry Kevin, that does not work. The right-click is disabled on the task
bar only,  but not on the KDE icon (start-of-menu icon).

The context menu action of Kicker can be restricted with kiosk using

[KDE Action Restriction]
action/kicker_rmb=false

in kickerrc, either in the user's one (.kde/share/config/kickerrc) or in
the 
global one (actually at any level of KDEDIRS)

You can additionally mark it immutable, especially when you add it to
the 
global configuration.

[KDE Action Restriction][$1]
action/kicker_rmb=false

Cheers,
Kevin
