i use KDE's kiosktool and it is really great for locking down KDE for
different groups of users, BUT...
for locking down (partially) of Firefox and OpenOffice i have a special user
i call Sandbox in which
i setup OpenOffice and Firefox and then copy all the .openoffice and
.mozilla folders to all the other user from this one.
and of course changing their ownership too :-)

works great !

(if you'd like this method, i'll send you the scripts for copying the config
folder to all other users)
