Is there a way to query the full source tree to assemble a list of all possible "kiosk" related restrictions?
Or which apps support restrictions?
There are two README files in the source tree, but the files seem incomplete:
tdelibs/tdecore/README/kiosk tdebase/konsole/README.konsole_kiosk
Neither README is installed in the final tdelibs or tdebase packages.
The README files indicate there are three major groupings (kdeglobal):
[KDE Action Restrictions] [KDE Resource Restrictions] [KDE URL Restrictions]
The kiosktool app does not seem to provide a method to assemble a full list of restrictions.
I am editing the Admin Guide. An appendix of all possible restrictions would be helpful.

Hi Darrell, 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.

Hi,
I use already kde restrictions :
/etc/kderc /etc/kde-user-profile /etc/kde-profile/ kdeglobals kickerrc
...
They are a lot of files.
If i can help you.
Sincerely,
Jean

Here is an example from my home theater PC kdeglobals:
[KDE Action Restrictions] action/bookmarks=false action/configdesktop=false action/devnew=false action/editfiletype=false action/kicker_rmb=false action/konsole_rmb=false action/kwin_rmb=false action/menuedit=false action/openintab=false action/openwith=false action/properties=true editable_desktop_icons=true lock_screen=false movable_toolbars=false run_command=false services=false switch_user=false user/root=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.

In addition to the README.kiosk, the file tde/main/applications/kiosktool/kiosktool/kiosk_data.xml defines the actions available in kiosk and a short description of each of them. Search for "action type=" to get a list of the supported actions.
