Re: A similar idea that would work better for some...

Surely this sort of thing could be done simply with the xml interface? AFAIK all kde2 applications have their menus and toolbars defined by a simple xml file so you could just edit it so that with profile management only a simple browser window is opened with say back, forward and home buttons. Any 'powerful' commands are simply not included in the menus or toolbars.

I would imagine that most of kde could be closed up very neatly with this. Sure, people could do things if they really wanted but this sort of thing isn't meant to protect against technically competent people, its purely to make things simple for the masses by taking away all those 'confusing' options and to stop them accidentally bringing the system down
