Sorry?
/me switches to a console
$ startx $( which galeon ) -- 1>/dev/null 2>&1 &
/me diddles with galeon for a while, including several login/auth sites
with popups...
...works.
If you're assuming authentication at the kiosk, you can handle that
through an X display manager (xdm, gdm, wdm, etc.). But Galeon runs
fine naked.
Personally, I'd probably pick fvwm2 for this task -- you want a
powerful, configurable, window manager. With fvwm2 you've got the
options to set window decorations, etc., so you're not completely
bare-ass naked, but you cna also configure virtually every part of the
environment so that the user is effectively locked into their sandbox.
Peace.
