Themes for the desktop, done for KDE

We are searching for KDE and GNOME Themes (Desktop layout, Wallpaper, Icons) which are more child friendly than the current default ones. If the wallpaper is good enough (means: about 1600x1200 pixels in size and should look good with just 8bit colors), we can use it also for the bootsplash. Think about children < 10 years old). For KDE we have a first package using the "kids-theme" from everaldo.com (thanks!). Have a look at the screenshot: http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/KDE+4+Kids?content=9144

KIOSK-Tool- (KDE) and Sabayon- (GNOME) Templates for children, done for KDE

Kiosktool and sabayon are still part of the distribution - so we just need someone who "clicks through" the application and decides which restrictions are useful for children and which are not. With the tools you can restrict the access for the desktop (for example: changing the wallpaper, starting a terminal, starting applications at all, ...).
