[Kde-kiosk] Starting konqueror in fullscreen

[David Rippel]

Waldo -

This is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks.

The other methods mentioned (kstart --fullscreen & dcop konqueror-xxxx 'qt/KXMLGUILClient-KActionCollection/fullscreen' activate) either still display the menubar (kstart) or trash the toolbar.

Has anyone considered putting together a repository of information like this on a web site somewhere? Is there an official kde-kiosk project yet? My goal is to design a bootable cd based on knoppix that I can send out to any site that needs to deploy a kiosk. It will simply start up a locked down kde environment, launch konqueror fullscreen, and provide all plugins in a safe manner. I may also add some remote management features similar to those used by FireCast (www.wirespring.com, a commercial product).

- David.

The following worked for me:
konqy=$(dcopstart konqueror)
konqy_win=$(dcop $konqy KonquerorIface getWindows| head -1)
konqy_fullscreen=$(dcop $konqy_win action fullscreen)
dcop $konqy_fullscreen activate

$konqy_fullscreen is a reference to the "toggle fullscreenmode action". So 
whenever you activate it, it toggles between fullscreen and normal mode or 
vice versa. You may want to check if you are in fullscreen mode already with 
	dcop $konqy_win fullScreen

Cheers,
Waldo
