well, 'users' are all from LDAP and their $HOME directories are loaded
via NFS but I do have the 'default' profile set to include the
'dom_users' group and so far, it still isn't working.

# cat /etc/kde-user-profile
[General]
groups=dom_users

[Groups]
dom_users=default

# cat /etc/kde-profile/default/share/config/kdeglobals
--- much snipped ---
[KDE Control Module Restrictions]
kde-screensaver.desktop=true

# cat /etc/kde-profile/default/share/config/kdesktoprc
[ScreenSaver]
ActionBottomLeft=0
ActionBottomRight=1
ActionTopLeft=0
ActionTopRight=0
Enabled[$i]=true
Lock[$i]=true
LockGrace[$i]=60000
Priority=19
Saver=KBlankscreen.desktop
Timeout[$i]=300

Where the settings have [$i] set are immutable and user cannot change.

This setup works on individually installed workstations (Fedora 6/7) but
not on LTSP-6   ;-(
