A follow-up question. I would like to create some description of "kiosk" web access user. I had a simple way of doing this in the past by placing firefox in the user's .xsession. This meant that we could tell everyone the kiosk username/password and if they logged in, they just got firefox. It wasn't that secure, but it was enough of a barrier. Since edgy, ldm now has a drop-down box allowing the user to choose their session type, which means they can explicitly choose gnome and get around the .xsession entry. It's not a disaster, but certain students like to mess things about, so I'd like to avoid them using a full gnome session in this instance as they can mess things up to a degree that it's not really usable by the next person. Ideally, this setting should apply to the kiosk account, wherever it's used. In general though, that account is mainly used on a few machines so I guess if I can do it per machine that would be enough. Is there a straightforward way to do this? I guess I could change ldm to just disable the session chooser.
