Maybe those are "improvements" in newer versions.

Can this user be restricted via a chroot jail?

Have you looked for any docs on setting up a public kiosk type system?  I would think there would be extensive info on preventing some 3l33t hax0r d00d in the mall from pwning a kiosk...

Can you dump file-roller from this system?  Or make it inaccessible by this user?

Is there a restricted file browser to replace nautilus that will do what you want?
