Is there any Howto in any Wiki? Not really I fear. Ok in short: The kiosk mode is a possibility to override default configuration and sets some stuff for users, please read the introduction[0]. We currently place stuff for the kiosk-profiles under debian-edu-config/share/debian-edu/kde-profile and there you already find a debian_edu_pupils which I started as an example (but which is still almost empty :( ). This directory will be read and understood by kde if the user are in the group "students". So if you for instance place some configuration under this directory (which works as the normal kde directory, e.g. /usr/share/applications/ ) it will be used for all users in the group students. This way it is possible to customize the desktop for different users, e.g. for highschool kids or kindergarden kids, whatever you want. At the beginning it might be a bit difficult and it takes some testing, but do not hesitate to ask on #debian-edu or try things out :) Hope this helps.
