+
+A lot of this can already be disabled with KDE's KIOSK framework. By adding a
+[KDE Action Restrictions] group to your konsolerc file, you can disable individual actions. The following actions are used in konsole:
+
+action/copy
+action/paste
+action/clear_terminal
+action/reset_clear_terminal
+action/find_history
+action/find_next
+action/find_previous
+action/save_history
+action/clear_history
+action/clear_all_histories
+action/detach_session
+action/rename_session
+action/monitor_activity
+action/monitor_silence
+action/send_input_to_all_sessions
+action/show_menubar
+action/show_toolbar
+action/fullscreen
+action/save_sessions_profile
+action/close_session
+action/quit
+action/new_session
+action/activate_menu
+action/list_sessions
+
+Since KDE 3.1.1 the following actions will be available as well:
+action/bell
+action/font
+action/schema
+action/size
+action/scrollbar
+action/keyboard
+
+
+So if you don't want the user to toggle his scrollbar settings, you would add:
+
+[KDE Action Restrictions]
+action/scrollbar=false
+
+Also usefull in this context is:
+
+[KDE Action Restrictions]
+shell_access=false
+
+This disables all actions that start a new shell in konsole (such as
+action/new_session, but more complete) This requires KDE 3.1.0 or newer.
+
+Note that if you change this in konsolerc it will apply to all konsoles.
+However you can copy konsolerc to e.g. my_konsolerc and then start konsole
+with "konsole --config my_konsolerc"
