I have not looked at kiosktool. I have manually edited some of the related settings when I built my home theater PC, to "lock" and prevent anybody from tinkering with the desktop.

I believe the [$i] appendage to a config file key is for "immutable," through which the system then will not override.

Okay, in summary then, Trinity provides a way to globally configure a significant amount of configurations for all users, immutable or merely initial defaults, although the app name kiosktool is not intuitively obvious to everybody. :-) The app name makes sense with a little reflection, but I wonder whether a different name might help.

Ah, yes, I remember. The tool also does not address BSD style init scripts. :-(

Both Slackware and Arch use BSD style init scripts. I know of one similar tool that exists for Slackware but uses Python and GTK. I wonder how much work would be involved to convert that tool to TQt3 and to support both Slackware and Arch?
