FW: Which window-manager for a kiosk?



Won't a simple 'chroot' in the default shell of the user put all other
applications inaccessible?

I guess you can trim off the menu functions and start panel functions in
most of the WMs?

| Which window manager will give me the ability to size/move/close/etc 
| windows, but without the ability to start other programs, 
| etc. I want a 
| kiosk style setup, on a low-memory machine. ICEWM has that 
| menu at the 
| bottom with the "Start" menu, so it's unsuitable. I tried twm, but I 
| have to manually place the default app (Galeon) when it 
| starts or when a 
| new window is opened by the web site being visited, and I 
| would prefer 
| the window to just take the entire screen or at least not 
| require manual 
| placement.
| 
| Any suggestions?
| 
| Thanks!
