Just did this for a public computer in a hotel. What you have to do is
install KDE 3.1, which is not released by Redhat yet. There is a KDE on
Redhat http://kde-redhat.sourceforge.net project that has RH8 KDE 3.1 RPMs.

KDE 3.1 supports Kiosk mode where you can lock down every application. Read
the Kiosk HOWTO at http://developer.kde.org/documentation/other/index.html

Also, http://www.linux-mag.com/2002-11/kde_01.html will help.
Please let me know how you get on,

Chris
