It sounds like what you really want is to just set that one program as the
window manager for that environment. Does the program really need to have
window handling support?
For example, if you are using xdm, and you set the window manager for
those accounts to the path of the program you want them to have access to,
then their session will be tied to the running of that program, and when
they quit, they will effectively log out and xdm will return.
It depends on whether or not you need them to be able to move windows
around, close windows, etc. It sounds like you really don't.
But if you insist on using a window manager,

(Though this will not in itself give you the logout-on-program-quit
