Well I do not know if this will work for your window manager but it works for our kde desktops running on the terminal server. We drop into the users home directory and issue a chown -R root .Desktop . This totally locks the desktop settings and allows no one to change anyting. For mozilla we do the same thing. We don't want them to have internet to outside the company so we set mozilla to a non-existant proxy and set a except for our internal domain. We then do a chown on their .mozilla directory and they cannot change a thing....
