Ah, ok, got it.

Don't assume someone has no way of doing something just because you
removed the obvious ways of doing so. Have you tried hitting
ctrl+alt+backspace?

Anyways, if you can't properly lock down KDE, why are you using it? Why
not use Fluxbox with only a "exit fluxbox" in the menu? That way, they
won't have anything at all they can do, and as soon as they exit
fluxbox, you can restart it. And there isn't anything they can mess up.
Fluxbox only has a few config files, and you can make them read-only.
