Have you looked into running just the app, with no Desktop Environment. 
(To test locally, try  editing ~.xinitrc and then commenting out what's
there and just putting something like emacs).  They could still start
other application from a command line and have them display, but it
would make it more difficult and non-obvious.

If this is what you want I can help you figure out how to do this for
vnc (I've done something simular, but I would have to play to get
everything correct in my message).

Thanks,
Bill
