Dont know about gnome per se but you can use chroot/jails to restrict
users to see only stuffs you want them to see for any environment. Just
build the chroot and copy over the gnome-specific binaries to its
chrooted-equivalent (copy or link /usr/bin/gnome-panel to
/home/chrooted/johndoe/usr/bin/gnome-panel). I do not know of any tools
that does this automatically and also I do not know how gdm will work out.
e.g -
Normal
/home/johndoe/
|
|___ .bashrc
|___ .sig
chrooted
/home/chroot/johndoe/
|
|__ bin/
|__ usr/
--

WOW this sure seems to be over kill putting each user in a jail.
There must be some other way at the user id level or from gnome it self to
do this.
