gconf-editor can do what you want to do.

You can remove the "main menu" application entirely, add the "logout" button to
the users' panels, and then go to apps-panel-global and select locked-down.
(This works for either a single user if you run gconf-editor as that user, or
globally if you run gconf-editor as root.  Note that if you set it as the user,
the same user can change it back again.)

Another alternative is apps- gnomepowermanager-can_hibernate and can_suspend

or

apps-gnomepowermanager-buttons-power (change from "interactive" to "nothing")
