There's a continuum from Power User<->Supervised user<->Kiosk user.

I guess you're at the left end of that spectrum, Kiosk users have the 
config locked down at a file level since KDE 2 times (and the UI changes 
to reflect that, but there is a use case in the middle for allowing 
unauthenticated changes via the UI, but having a safety lock to prevent 
unintentional changes.

Krita had a dockwindow UI lock and removed it lock a few releases ago 
because they couldn't make it discoverable and were sick of bug reports, 
and now Plasma has followed suit.  I used it for my kids, who manage to 
unintentionally destroy their Krita UI with a clumsy tap about once per 
session. It will remain to be seen whether they now start trashing their 
desktop layout too (although I could still poke it locked with an env.sh 
file...).
