I have a application monitoring program running on the display of a

want to prevent people from "tinkering" with the machine.
Any suggestions?
Use one of the screensavers that distorts the screen, like the "ripples" hack.
If you use xscreensaver, it'll let you select a set of hacks to run, and you
can just pick all the ones that still let you see most of the screen.
