I would have thought that you would want to restrict the user input inside the
program you are
calling.
Maybe some method of rewriting the Linux keymap then restoring it on exit.
But I don't know much about that.
You would need safeguards to handle crashes etc though. :-)
As for limiting the windowing stuff... dunno
Good luck,
Zane

Hello,
First of all: if there is someone on this list, who knows of a general
Linux programmers mailing list, then please tell me about it.
Now the question: I know there's some standard C function for executing
a program, but I want to, from within my C program, execute a program,
but restricting the user's input to that program. That probably isn't
very clear, but I'm trying to make a child-safe kiosk-like program, so
maybe that will make my question a little clearer.
