KDE (see Kubuntu) has a pretty comprehensive "kiosk" feature for this.  You 
can also write-protect the gconf settings files, I think, but that would be 
awkward.  I *think* I recall seeing something a while back on 
gnomedesktop.org about a similar kiosk tool for gnome.  Could be mistaken, 
though.
