If you wished to be really restricted you could set up a login profile
environment for the 'child' user which ran only the approved program or a
launcher for an approved set of programs that runs in either ratpoison or
evilwm, that way by the time they figure how how the window manager actually
works you've got bigger things to worry about ;)
On top of that you can use group control to limit whom can and cannot run
what programs, but by default most distributions are not very friendly to
this and you only get some vague controls, and I've only heard of it being
done by LFS guys whom installed every package as a different group to give
full access control rights to entire program suites/libraries
