Let me start with what I'm actually trying to achieve, because it's always possible there's a better way than what I'm trying :-) I'm trying to achieve a vaguely kiosk-ish setup where the user clicks on an icon to start a program, say oowriter. That program runs, taking up the entire screen, no panels, menus, or other icons to distract. When it finishes, you go back to the beginning. The way I've implemented this on RHEL 3 Desktop is with the gdm face browser -- one user per program and no password. Each user has a .Xclients something like this: metacity & oowriter The problem is that if the user clicks the minimize icon (by accident or otherwise), the window goes away and cannot be retrieved. I've actually tried this on Fedora Core 1 and there you can use Alt-Tab to retrieve your window, but not with RHEL 3 Desktop. No key combinations seem to work except Ctrl-Alt-Backspace :-) How do I activate Alt-Tab -- and also, how do I configure metacity to show a background image (which would tell them to use Alt-Tab)? Configuration seems to work only with gnome. I've googled around quite a bit looking for this, but no one is doing quite the same thing with metacity as far as I can tell. Any advice would be appreciated. RHEL 3 Desktop runs with gnome-desktop-2.2.2-1 and metacity-2.4.55-6. -Luke _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
