Well, I haven't tested every app, but basic ones work as expected:

    # Show which kcalc will run.
    $ which kcalc
    /usr/bin/kcalc

    # Run kcalc with a pathname.
    $ /usr/bin/kcalc
    rbash: /usr/bin/kcalc: restricted: cannot specify `/' in command names

    # Run kcalc from the PATH; it runs and exits properly.
    $ kcalc && echo $?
    0

so the problem is that something in tellico, or one of the KDE libraries
that it depends on, is calling things with an explicit pathname.

The whole point of this particular exercise was to create a secure kiosk
running tellico, but it doesn't look like I'll be able to do that at
this time. Sadness.
