Hi jeffwang,

This would be really hard to do because you would have to whitelist every program needed to run Gnome (like gnome-panel, and some others).

You can provide a restricted shell/terminal, but GUI applications wouldn't work.

Another (but not really reasonable) is to remove any unwanted packages from the system. (but *CAREFUL* not to break any dependencies!)
