I run Firefox as a main Kiosk on Linux. No desktop menus, etc. I basically use the tab bar as a OS desktop panel, and allow running some programs using the Commandrun extension (eg. shutdown.) Although Firefox *is* the desktop I still need to run a window manager to get X11 focus where necessary. This may be your problem. Try running a minimalistic window manager. In Gnome2 it was Metacity, but if you can try a number of other ones. The window manager can run without decorations -- it's just there to get X11 focus on the correct application/window. If it's a Gnome/GTK one you might also need to start dconf/gconf, etc. Once it works turn off the decorations and keystrokes with a theme. IIRC, in X11 menus are windows. (I also use that to change the background, otherwise when Firefox fails to start I get support calls for "blue screen". :) _______________________________________________ Enterprise mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/enterprise To unsubscribe from this list, please visit https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/enterprise or send an email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe"
