 yes, sort-of: more that i only wish to limit what programs a user
 can run (and what programs _those_ programs can run).

 in particular, i want to stop people from being able to use the
 "Run" capability of Konqueror, etc.  STOP, not have the popup coming
 up with "are you sure you want to run this program?".


 setting up a kdeusers group, chgrp'ing the allowed programs
 to that group, and setting permissions to 0660 is what i really
 need...

 ... but i wondered if there was a way to do that same thing in
 SE/Linux...

 ... _without_ writing a whole stack of policies, one per program.

 a macro i could write that would let me do this:
 
 allow_user_kde_access(konqueror_exec_t)
 allow_user_kde_access(k3b_exec_t)

 with all that that implies.

 or, to simply set all the allowed kde executables into
 kde_user_exec_t type, and set this on /usr/bin/konqueror,
 /usr/bin/k3b, /usr/bin/koffice etc.
