Subj : KDE - can I lock the panel?

I'm running a small linux network for information kiosks, on Mandrake
9.1 and mozilla.  On my stations I have them pretty well closed down -
no icons on the desktop, only one button on the panel for mozilla, and
no k menu or anything else.  Even disabled right-clicking on the
desktop to keep them from messing around.  But one thing still remains
- right clicking on the panel.  With this they can add and remove
items to the panel, open all sorts of programs, get to the file
system, and so on.  They don't have rights to anything and can't
actually cause any damage, except make everything so chaotic the next
guy to come along can't use the station.

Is there any way to lock the configuration of the panel, to keep
anyone from adding or removing buttons?  Maybe a config file I could
change to read-only?  I've looked but not found any such file.

TIA, maddman
