After investigating various window managers, I used openbox for the
public terminals at our local library. I found that the configuration
files were few and simple, and the documentation was better than most.
I tried KDE in kiosk mode (using the kiosktool) but concluded that it
really wasn't ready for production use yet. Whatever you choose, make
sure the documentation is good, that can be the difference between a
trivial install and a let's-guess-what-the-developers-were-thinking
nightmare.
