I ended up figuring out how to kiosk-ize firefox and installed Debian and used a tightened FVWM as the WM. We don't need a multihead solution. But, I'd really like to see how groovix is doing their kiosk - did they open source the kiosk part at all? I can't see it. I would imagine it would be hard to avoid not doing so since it's based on Debian and Firefox.
