The best remote capabilities, especially on slow connections, has currently NX 
by NoMachine.com

The client is free, available on multiple platforms and it can also be used 
with a free software server implementation called FreeNX (though the one from 
NoMachine is likely better supported)

Removing applications, as in uninstalling them, is a job of your distributions 
package manager.

If you want to lock down user profiles, have a look at the following websites
http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdebase/userguide/kde-for-administrators.html

http://techbase.kde.org/SysAdmin

http://extragear.kde.org/apps/kiosktool/

But, as I said above, the best solution for improving the remote fidelity is 
to use NX, since it applies caching strategies and minmized data transfers 
(and can optionally forward sound, printers, file shares)

Cheers,
Kevin
