Hi, AnDrew --

You should check out the information on the Mozilla Kiosk project
website :
    http://kiosk.mozdev.org/

It's a neat XML config driven browser and small window manager.


The KDE team have a Kiosktool project :
    http://extragear.kde.org/apps/kiosktool/

It claims to be "A Point&Click tool for system administrators to enable
KDE's KIOSK features or otherwise preconfigure KDE for groups of users."


Good luck and let us know how you get on.
