The way I dealt with that problem on a full desktop (and I think it
could be just as easy in a kiosk mode as you say is to reset the
default setting on reboot (though, you could also set the default
settings on, say gdm init or login by sticking the commands into
/etc/gdm/Init/Default or /etc/gdm/PreSession/Default (or the
equivalent on your DM, I'm coming from a default Ubuntu Desktop
perspective)).
