I have a Linux Mint 14 machine and want to child-proof it.



My main concern right now is the menu that appears when I right-click on any empty desktop space. I want to eliminate it from appearing.

If you're using Xfce 4.10, you may try the following:



In Settings > Desktop > Menus uncheck Show applications on right click and perhaps uncheck Show window list on middle click.



If in addition you go to Settings > Desktop > Icons and select type: None or Minimized, then this should pretty much disable all interaction with the desktop.
