[Kde-kiosk] Multimedia Kiosk - Marketing Display

[Martijn Klingens]

Hi James,

A couple of questions before I (or someone else) can give your mail a stab...

First of all: are you subscribed to this list or do we need to keep you on CC?

I added the rest inline below:

Have you got that working without applying any kiosk restrictions? In general 
it's best to first get all bits and pieces working as if it's a "normal" 
desktop and only then apply the lockdown options of KDE's Kiosk framework to 
it.

Of course you should probably keep the eventual use case (kiosk) in mind for a 
couple of design decisions, but initially it isn't too much different from a 
normal setup yet.

Are you able to do this on the existing Windows systems or do you also have 
this working on Linux already? And if you don't, do you have any idea where 
to look for information, since this isn't really the scope of the Kiosk 
framework and/or this mailing list.

Same here, does "we are able" refer to Windows or Linux?
