Arrange for the shell script or program presenting the menu to be the login shell. Do not have a parent shell for them to escape to. A shell can replace itself with a line like:
exec /usr/local/bin/menuthing
but you should explore simply having /usr/local/bin/menuthing be the login shell given to the user in /etc/passwd.

And once you do this, allow them to escape at will, thus logging themselves off.

EXMENEN(1)						      General Commands Manual							EXMENEN(1)

NAME

       exmenen, exmendis - enable or disable extra menus for GNOME, KDE and other XDG menu-spec compliant desktops

SYNOPSIS

       exmenen (--system | --local) [ module ]

       exmendis (--system | --local) [ module ]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the exmenen and exmendis commands.

       exmenen	is  a  script  that enables the specified extra applications menu on either a system, or per-user basis.  It does this by creating
       symlinks within /etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged/ (system wide),  or  ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/menus/applications-merged/  (per-user).  If  the
       XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variable is unset, its default is taken to be ${HOME}/.config .

       Likewise,  exmendis  disables  an extra applications menu by removing those symlinks.  It is not an error to enable a menu which is already
       enabled, or to disable one which is already disabled.

EXAMPLES

	      exmendis --system electronics
	      exmenen --system electronics

       Disables the system wide extra electronics menu, enables it for the current user.

FILES

       /usr/share/extra-xdg-menus
	      Directory with .menu files defining the available extra modules.

       /etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged
	      Directory with links to the files in extra-xdg-menus for system-wide enabled extra menus.

       ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/menus/applications-merged
	      Directory with links to the files in extra-xdg-menus for per-user enabled extra menus. If XDG_CONFIG_HOME is  unset,  the  directory
	      used will be ${HOME}/.config/menus/applications-merged

AUTHOR

       This  manual  page  was written by Peter Clifton <pcjc2@cam.ac.uk> for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution, as it is a Debian-specific script
       with the package.

       exmenen, exmendis and this manpage were derived from scripts and documentation written by Daniel Stone for the apache2 Debian package.
