Hmm, I'm nowhere close to being an X11 guru, but I beleive the shutdown sequence can be set in xf86config file (or by using the graphical configuration to do the same). The other things might be setup by using some sort of sandbox so that when a user logs on they only have access to the programs you define, and nothing else (a la an ftp session). But I'm only guessing.... >Thank for all the help in advance.
