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.
