Removing the menu is only a cosmetic fix. The user can still easily kick the desktop out of the way and access the system through the terminal. Unless you do something similar to what /.bash_profile does to keep user dsl logged in (the "while" loop), there is no forcing the user to stay in the desktop. Personally I dislike loops like this, paticularly when you start nesting them, but there's not much else that can be easily done if your plan is to limit the users' freedoms.
You might consider a search (both here and at goggle.com/linux) for "kiosk" desktop systems. That sounds like it more closely resembles what you want.
