The simple answer is not to put grandma in the admin group, which is
actually probably more realistic than it sounds.

If it does become a problem, we simply (try to) educate users that they
should do normal work with an account that doesn't have sudo privileges, and
only log into an admin account when they need to do admin activities.
Obviously a pain, but this is not a likely future anyway IMHO.
