I've not had the problems you speak of above.  I set up a box that was 
basically a slideshow using Netscape/Mozilla.  No keyboard, mouse only 
so as to shut it down.  Basically you fired it up, Netscape is started 
from init and with meta refresh tags, it cycles through these pages 
which consist of cute sayings and pictures.

This was for my wife's conference week.  Set it up on Friday, shut it 
down the following friday.

The mouse was under cover, and when you selected any button it provided 
only a shutdown menu. :)


Beats the hell out of powerpoint!
