I've been tinking with something like that lately, as slack-time allowed, but
I can't get it 100% happy.
I've been wanting to make a user run an X-session with just a full-screen
mozilla window.
I've tinkered with a ~user/.xinitrc but it didn't work.
So I'm interested in the responses to your question as well.
