What you should do is create a group.  For example, I use "restricted"
as the group.  Any of the users I want to be restricted get assigned to
that group.  In Kiosktool I configure a restrictive profile that only
applies the the group "restricted".  This way when I log in as the
public user I get the restrictions, but when I log in as, say, "admin"
there are no restrictions.  You can also set Kiosktool to only apply it
to certain users.

BTW, you shouldn't log in KDE as root.  That's what "sudo" is for.
