If you only need to show a website and no other programs should be displayed in parallel you might want to try a combination of ratpoison+browser of your choice. Depending on your browser you can even omit ratpoison and just start the browser as the xsession (should have tabbed browsing then). In effect you get a fullscreen browser with your app as homepage. More browser windows can be openend and switched between them with free configurable shortcuts (i recommend alt+tab). If the browser is closed you end the xsession and depending on configuration a new session might open or show a loginscreen. Hendrik
