I posted a change set on the 17th that does a pretty good job of 
locking down the UI.
http://swiki.gsug.org:8080/sqfixes/2536.html

From its preamble:

By executing:
        Preferences disableProgrammerFacilities
from your personalized World menu and saving the locked image under a
new name, the following features are disabled:

* Halos
* Meta and Debug menus
* Command keys in world
* Command-dot interrupts
* Debuggers (though notifiers will still come up)
* World menu (from mouse or key)
* Command keys other than editing & cursor in text

The yellow-button menus in text panes will still come up.
It is assumed that text panes in your app will have their own
yellow-button menus.
