Not a bad idea at all.  Create my own dock that prevents adding/removing.

The reason I would like to lock the items in the dock is because a 
customer of mine would REALLY benefit from it.  He's an older man, and 
with his arthritis, he has problems with clicking and dragging.  When he 
intends to click once (such as on an icon in the dock), he'll 
accidentally hold down the mouse button for too long and drag the mouse 
a little.  Poof... the icon he's gotten accustomed to clicking is now gone.

To make matters worse, this is the first computer he has EVER used.  I 
mean, ever!  So making things very simple for him is the best route to take.
