The idea's simple; until the "get root access" menu

I think this is do-able, but then, I've not seen the code. What do
you folks think?
Sounds problematic at best. How do you specify which menus or launchers
to hide? Anything along those lines would surely require changes to
various
freedesktop.org specs. I doubt any of this will even be
considered until SELinux is in a usable state (FC3? FC4?). Then ideally
you would show menus based on user roles.
As for removing the menus entirely you can copy:
/etc/X11/desktop-menus/applications.menu
to:
~/.gnome2/vfolders/applications.vfolder-info
To remove the menus requiring root access you can edit the vfolder-info
file. Remove the Folder blocks named:
System
MoreSystem
System Settings
Server
MoreServer
There may be implications to doing this, of course. Particularly if
something adds a new application menu. But, I don't think anything of
grave importance would be affected. I've done it for several years
without any problems.
