This happens already on ltsp diskless kiosks -- the kiosk home directory is
volatile.  Still, if an inexperienced user walks up and can't get a
reasonable interface straight away, they're likely to give up without
rebooting.  I'd rather they just can't mess with it.  No window manager
does this fairly well, it just limits firefox a little.

Of course, some of the little $EXPLETIVEs have figured out that they can
mess with the monitor size/position settings to get the same effect.
