Your idea may be useful, for example, when we give the devide to a service centre or someone who is an expert in the maemo commant line..
The usage scenario I mentioned are the "common" people who needs a "GUI" for everything.
If application launch dbus signals could be intercepted before they reach their destination (until approved by the locking app), it could be enough to prevent launching an application from the UI... Unless there's an application which calls the binaries directly... or allows defining and running custom shell commands.

It could work for this purpose, but it definitely could not be called secure.
