Given your earlier mails, the thing you want to achieve is near to impossible. Even if you donʼt give focus to every terminal app that can ever exist, I can press Ctrl-Alt-F2 to go to the textual console and do whatever Iʼd like. If there is one thing in the X world you canʼt catch is this (and maybe Ctrl-Alt-Backspace). Of course, you can disable those in the X config. If a regular user can install software on the machine, you stand no chance; even without root access it is possible.
If you donʼt want the user to interact with the computer at a specific time, why not firing up the password protected screen saver?
