I am not a kiosk expert (I don't use it).
How does a kiosk restriction look like on a file? Then we can perhaps come up with some
sort of search.
Here is an example from my home theater PC kdeglobals:
[KDE Action Restrictions]
action/bookmarks=false
In my use case example, these restrictions lock the desktop.
There is a KDE web page containing a list of restrictions, but the page also includes
plasma restrictions, which implies some of the other restrictions might be KDE4-only as
well. After excluding the plasma restrictions the resulting list probably is close to
being complete.
http://techbase.kde.org/KDE_System_Administration/Kiosk/Keys
Regardless, seems there ought to be a programmatic way to create a complete list.
In that web page is a heading titled "Using D-Bus To Find More Actions," but
there is no information. That heading title hints that perhaps dcop might be able to do
the same thing.
Some poking around reveals
http://git.trinitydesktop.org/cgit/tdelibs/tree/tdecore/README.kiosk
which seems to be our equivalent of the source material for that page.
It includes some dcop-related discovery instructions.
