Systrace works just fine for that. Every application that I run
on my latop is systraced automatically, that is every xterm runs
a systraced shell.
Things like browsers, media players, editors, etc... can be restricted
fairly simple. This includes resticting to the network connections
that applications are allowed to make and so forth.
There are actually several people in Ann Arbor who run their laptops
completely systraced.
