thanks for the answer
a minute ago, I found out that KDE has a build in kiosk-framework.
taken from http://www.kde.org/areas/sysadmin/
...
Kiosk
The Kiosk
(http://webcvs.kde.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/kdelibs/kdecore/README.kiosk?rev=KDE_3_2_BRANCH&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup)
framework provides a set of features that makes it possible to restrict
the capabilities of the KDE environment. Although primarily designed for
unattended operation of kiosk terminals, these features can also be very
valuable in enterprise settings where a more controlled environment is
desired.
A mailing list is available for people questions regarding the Kiosk
framework, you can subscribe to the list here: kde-kiosk list
(http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-kiosk).
For KDE 3.2.2 and later, the KIOSK Admin Tool
(http://extragear.kde.org/apps/kiosktool.php) can be used to manage
kiosk settings.
