There is a program called pessulus, i use this to lock down gnome pannels, disable logout etc..

if you want to stop users saving to the desktop for example you could deny then permission to write to the desktop using this command.

login as root or su

chown root  /home/username-of-account/Desktop

obviously username-of-account is replaced with account name eg

chown root  /home/John/Desktop

another tool that is interesting to use is the gconf-editor

to run this load a terminal as root and type :

gconf-editor

Hope this helps
