This costs us some nice things, including potentially useful things like registering a ConsoleKit session (/etc/X11/Xsession.d/90consolekit) We can bend a normal Xsession to do what we want by suppressing the gnome-panel and nautilus from launching, which we can do by setting the gconf key /desktop/gnome/session/required_components_list = [windowmanager] Most of the applications in /etc/xdg/autostart should be harmless, if they even start at all for an unprivileged account without a panel. For those that are problematic, we can suppress them by creating files in ~kiosk@mit/.local/share/autostart that override the files in /etc/xdg/autostart. This should make it much easier to start up the kiosk session, and would give us cleaner integration with the rest of the system." enhancement closed low The Distant Future -- fixed
