That's the whole point: many applications (including OOo, Totem, Gedit,
Kate, the GIMP, Inkscape, etc.) allow you to run python code from inside
those applications (as plugins, or sometimes even in a custom python
console).  And it's trivially simple to circumvent kiosktool's
restrictions that way (trust me, I've done it).

(It might work if you limit yourself to a small number of applications
that are officially supported by kiosktool, but that's not useful in
many situations.)
