It's quite straight-forward: replace the menues, mouse bindings and key bindings to do nothing. Use FvwmButtons as an application launcher or run just one application by default (your choice). It's a good idea to place a supervisor in the backgound, that kills all applications but the ones you want to be run. Nik
FVWM: Using fvwm as a lock-down kiosk
Howdy all, I am likely going to be updating some public computers in a local library, and have an idea that fvwm could be used to provide limited access to running applications like a web browser, etc. Has anyone here already done such a thing? I'm interested in knowing how far this can be taken and if fvwm is a practical choice for this. Thanks! Raspian
FVWM: Book on fvwm...
Howdy, Can anyone tell me what the status of this thread is? http://www.mail-archive.com/fvwm@fvwm.org/msg01393.html It's an old thread, and I recall reading my copy of Linux Unleashed many years ago when they still mentioned fvwm. Given that I am disliking the direction Unity and Gnome are headed I wanted to look at fvwm again - but struggle with the man page. I think a book on fvwm would be awesome! Raspian
