Hi,

I think that a parental control system should be added to kde. Of course it should be optional.
Some of these features may be controlled by general programs (like web content filtering), others really depends on kde like a time limit of kde sessions. 

Example of needed features:
 * filter web content
 * limit msn/google talk/jabber sessions (disable or time-limit)
 * time limit of kde sessions (like 2 hours a day)
 * etc

Couldn't some of that br done through Kiosk?

I‘m wondering nobody ever requested such a feature. It isn‘t that also Linux users do have children? Or don‘t they? Also, Windows NT can restrict your login time since 1994 (NT 3.x could do that!) and Windows 7 also has a nice working easy-to-use parental control system. So why doesn‘t the in my eyes best desktop interface have one?

> time limit

On https://launchpad.net/timekpr there is an, as far as i can see, already working application, which development has been stopped. The applications are python based and the admin and client notifier gui uses gtk. 

As already mentioned not having parental control in KDE will exclude many families around the world as potential users.
