kicker already supports locking down individual panels, buttons and applets as 
well as the whole configuration. we will need to continue to support such 
configuration requirements in kde4.

the one area that isn't covered very well right now is preconfigurations. it 
would be very nice to be able to save and restore applet configurations so 
that one can switch between plasma layouts quickly and easily.

this may actually become a requirement for the multiple desktop layout feature 
that is planned.

does that cover what you were thinking of, or did you have other thoughts as 
well?
