Well, you can disable virtual terminals by not starting a getty on them.
You could, maybe, start them when root logs in, then kill them when
he/she logs out again.

Multiple desktops are a window manager thing. Configure your wm to only
give you one desktop.

As for Alt+Ctrl+Backspace, I'm not sure this can be done.
