How about in kiosk mode, we only hide the "status bubble", control the command dispatchers, and we leave the context menu as it is. That will solve most of the issues and not complicate things.
Windows defined it pretty simple, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/154780, they can open new windows, tabs, close, etc. I believe it is a correct way to follow, its not illegal or anything to follow something that is good and working. And it will make the patch easy and simple. -Mohamed On Tue, Sep 29, 2009 at 8:27 PM, Marc-Antoine Ruel <mar...@chromium.org>wrote: > I think I'm right to say that a lot of the "knobs" stated by Mohamed > can be achieved with content script.
