Now that I think about it, you're all right, and I don't need to go to
all that trouble. What I had in mind was a sort of interactive
world/game to use as a desktop environment, but I could just put that IN
a restricted X session, and not make the program the restricted environment.
Thanks,
Aidan

Just set up the child's account to use KDE normally, but edit the menu
structure removing the unwanted programs. If the child is small you
could create Desktop icons for the various 'approved' applications.
If the parent is a complete control freak, you could set the entire
set of config and rc files stored in ~/.kde read-only so the child
cannot change settings.
With KDE there is an even more powerful method.
KDE supports a configurable kiosk mode which you could use to only allow some
programs, not modify settings, etc. Google and the kde.org website are your
friends.
