Better solution (in theory)

...but it only lives in Google's cache. Thanks again, Google!

macfora.com: [editing user capabilities]

(why it's cached and not in the original place I dunno.)

Essentially, netinfo manager will reveal a setting called "mcx_settings." In that description lives strings for what the user can and can't change; modify those strings to deny/allow access. For example, subtract "<string>com.apple.preference.screensaver</string>" from the user's mcx record, and they will no longer have the authority to change it. I would post the whole solution here, but it's a long 'un--plus I haven't tested it.

email if you want more help or the text of the original file.
