We started to test things a with a local Windows XP machine 5 minutes
ago. But.... no, I am not expecting it to work with Windows for now.
This would be a little wonder....  ;-)

Thanks for the reply and the suggestions.

This is what we used before. But kedulaunch looks so much nicer.
Also, Konqueror by default allows to do "menu --> Window --> Show
Terminal Emulator", and we do not want to give shell access to a
user. We know shell access could be forbidden by Kiosk means.
The kedulaunch concept provides a very simple way to only enable
*some* applications, without even needing to exercise Kiosk 
gymnastics, and has an interface that is *much* simpler than Konqui
with toolbar(s)+menu...
