However, since KDE is installed, there's nothing to prevent an enterprising student from
opening a terminal and manually calling konqueror or kfmclient. And while you could
remove KDE entirely, that will break many of the Edutainment packages because they are a
part of KEdutainment bundle. Probably the best thing to do would be to move
Dansguardian to a separate machine through which all internet traffic must go. Then it
doesn't matter what app they use, they can't get around Dansguardian.
