These references are a good place to start :
http://enterprise.kde.org/articles/korporatedesktop.php
http://enterprise.kde.org/articles/kiosk-lp.php
Our experiences are documented in our install logs. Visit
www.openhgs.org.uk/it.cgi/Lisa & scroll down to "locking down the desktop".
For a note about wallpapers see "11/11/05"
To remove the shutdown option I think you need to change "AllowShutdown="
option in /etc/X11/xdm/kdmrc
