Locking down the desktop

You lock down the desktop using the documents at
http://enterprise.kde.org/articles/ especially the articles "KDE Kiosk:
Battening Down the Hatches" and "KDE: The Korporate Desktop Environment"
Having followed the suggestions there-in, you think well that's it, nobody
will be able to change their wallpaper and then KDE applications allow users
to do it, there-by circumventing the corporate standard (well the school
standard anyway).
Specifically KolourPaint includes options on the file menu to save your image
as the wallpaper. Also, if you drag an image from the Konqueror file browser
to the desktop, a pop up menu appears which includes an open to set the
wallpaper to the dragged image.
So, my question is, how do we lock down the desktop so that users cannot
change their wallpaper, taskbar settings etc? Removing the two
aforementioned options would be a big help. Does anyone know how to disable
these options?
