Well, yes. But that is ensured by other components, e.g. the window manager
does not accept any key strokes, Xorg does not allow to switch to vt, login
manager is configured for auto-login - at the same time all system accounts
are locked...
So last part is to lock down the browser itself. We have to make sure that
the user has to use the website's navigation, etc...
Name this feature whatever you like, I would be fine if it is not called
kiosk mode. ;)

That means I have to maintain my own package with this feature enabled...
Any chance to make you rethink about it? :D
It's not a lot of overhead and having this upstream makes it easier for me.
Additionally this may bring more users to surf. (Have you tries disabling key
stokes in other browsers? That's real pain.)
Anyway, thanks a lot for your work!
