You could try to give users a normal account and let them run admin
things against sudo perhaps. You could setup sudo for these users in
the way that they need to give the user password instead of the root
password in order to get more rights. I know how to do this on the
commadnline, but I am not sure how this works on a desktop like KDE or
GNOME.

In fact this is a bit of such a sudo-environment.
