Creating a bare minimum menu FC1/KDE

Hello all,
I need some help with FC1 specifically the way FC1 combines a system
wide application entry with KDE menus.
I have a friend who is setting up several FC1 machines for a local
school. All the machines will have the default workstation install of
FC1. All will be using KDE as the default desktop environment, and here
is where we need help. Each machine will have at a minimum two users,
for now let's just say, "teacher" and "student". He wants to customize
the menu for each user. Actually he needs to create a default menu
template that will allow him to give less access to applications from
the KDE menu for the student users. He needs/wants to do this without
editing the menu on each machine using "Edit K Menu" option from within
KDEs Control Center.
I'm used to using Slackware and WindowMaker (no laughing out there!)
and I don't fully understand RH/FC1/Mandrake and how/where the scripts
for system wide application menu entries reside. What would be the best
way to create a template that does not use the system wide application
menu entries, allowing him to create a custom menu for a particular
user/group? I looked in /etc/skel to look at the default template, but
that seems pretty standard and doesn't help me much.
Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated,
Jason
