Cool! I hope there's one of these around here :)

Please correct me if I am wrong, but what I believe Aviram wants is to have a 
konqueror that won't let the user do _anything_ else than using that 
konqueror in _one_ specific set of pages. If that's the case, I've tried that 
in the past and came with the conclusion that it is not very easy (if not 
impossible in the current state of konq).

All is not lost though as you can still write a simple khtml application to do 
that. Then you'd still have to disable Ctrl-tab and all those other 
keybindings in KDE, but that's easy, I think.

Don't forget to come up with some way to disable this "lock mode" :-)
