Use .bash_profile. If you use .bashrc instead, it will cause all sorts of
grief if the user opens any xterms. Of course, any knowledgable user can
change their own .bash_profile, and bypass any defaults in /etc/profile.
But if the point is to make it easier for this user (as opposed to some
sort of paranoia thing), then it will work fine.

Change your default runlevel to 5. Not really sure how much that will buy
you, though, since there's nothing to stop someone from entering
CTRL-ALT-F1 and opening a virtual console there. Sure, you could delete
all the VC's from /etc/inittab, but that strikes me as both silly and
draconian at the same time.
