A virtual machine would be an administratively easy way of doing this.

Let the 'app' be a VM with the real apps installed inside. The users would
effectively be confined to a *file* on the host, not merely their home
directories.

My (biased :-) recommendation would be User-mode Linux
(http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net), but VMWare would work as
well.
