gdk_pointer_grab can force the pointer be inside your window, just pass
pointer to your gdk window as *confine_to* arg. Also you may want to call
gdk_keyboard_grab to disable window manager's stuff like worspace/window
switching. Consider, however, that user under X can switch to another VT 
and launch
'kill' ;)
