How to lockdown KDE Desktop Icons and Desktop Menu's in mandrake 10.1
We have been rolling out mandrake 10.1 running KDE.
However, Is there a way to lock down the desktop Icons and Desktop Menu's in KDE so people can't delete , rename, and / or move them?

Wesly, and what restricts the user to remove these settings again?
I'd chmod 444 the files and make them owned by root, and also chmod +t the corresponding directory

Ok the icons works great.
however, you can still edit and move toolbars.
Is it possible just to disable rightclick?
thanks

action/kdesktop_rmb=false <==right mouse button mouse button menu on the desktop.
action/kicker_rmb=false <==right mouse button mouse button menu on the panel.
movable_toolbars=false <==Defines whether toolbars may be moved around by the user.
icon=false
Note the use of [$i] immutable flag to prevent users from overriding these restrictions in their own kdeglobals file.

hmm, these docs do not describe how to restrict the user to remove the restrictions
hope you're aware of that

Linux Security
The Linux operating system, in all its flavors, has its own share of security flaws that allow intrusions, but there are various mechanisms by which these flaws can be removed, generally divided into two parts: authentication and access control. Authentication is responsible for ensuring that a user requesting access to the system is really the user with the account, while access control is responsible for controlling which resources each account has access to and what kind of access is permitted.

Append the following two lines into $KDEDIR/share/config/kdegl
-----
[KDE Action Restrictions][$i]
editable_desktop_icons=fal
movable_toolbars=false
----
Such as:
echo '[KDE Action Restrictions]' >> ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglo
echo 'editable_desktop_icons=fa
echo 'movable_toolbars=false' >> ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglo
Then logout and log back in to KDE
