It depends on how secure you want this to be and whether you want to see 
this menu or not.

If all you want is hide this menu, there is already an option on the 
html5 client's `connect.html` page, you can set "floating_menu=no" and 
it won't be shown.

If you want to customize the list of applications shown in this start 
menu, you can use the environment variable XPRA_MENU_LOAD_APPLICATIONS:
https://github.com/Xpra-org/xpra/issues/3227#issuecomment-890442890

If you want to prevent your users from starting *any* applications from 
the menu, start your server with: `--start-new-commands=no`

Finally, please be aware that many desktop applications require or at 
least use a dbus server - this opens many more possibilities for 
interacting with the system and potentially launching other apps.

Cheers,
Antoine
