Hm. Run the app with root privileges?
(Don't know how to do this, though.)

Yeah, that's not a bad idea--I'll look into it (probably using the security framework)...

I can't think of any way to deny the user control to apps in his own
user space. And that seems just right too me. :}

Well, I agree, of course. I realize that what I'm trying to do is very difficult by design (as it should be). But essentially what I'm trying to do is provide a convenient way for a user to lock their computer without having to log out (thereby quitting all of their open applications). I just think that it would be pretty lame if the whole thing could be circumvented by a simple key combination!

I agree with you, though, that the solution may be to have the app run outside the user space.

Thanks...
