Sounds like somethings broken with your initial install.... There should
be at least one session descriptor by default..

A session descriptor is simply a file in /etc/opt/SUNWkio/sessions/ that
defines the name/script/etc to run when a Kiosk session is created.

On Solaris there are two by default, jds.conf and cde.conf, representing
a JDS Session and a CDE session. I have not isntalled the beta on Linux,
but I would suspect that we have some sort of Gnome session.

Here is an example...

-bash-3.00# cat /etc/opt/SUNWkio/sessions/jds3.conf 
#

#
KIOSK_SESSION_EXEC=$KIOSK_SESSION_DIR/jds3-kiosk-session
KIOSK_SESSION_LABEL="Sun Java Desktop System 3"
KIOSK_SESSION_ICON=
KIOSK_SESSION_DESCRIPTION="A locked down Sun Java Desktop System 3
session. Additional applications are supported"
KIOSK_SESSION_PROTOTYPE=jds3
KIOSK_SESSION_APPLAUNCHER=$KIOSK_SESSION_DIR/applauncher
# Uncomment to use IM switcher in panel
#KIOSK_SESSION_DTSESSIONTYPE=altDt


When this session type is launched it will run this script:
/etc/opt/SUNWkio/sessions/jds3/jds3-kiosk-session

Make sure that you have these three rpms installed:
SUNWkio-4.0-42.i386.rpm   SUNWkiom-4.0-42.i386.rpm
SUNWkior-4.0-42.i386.rpm
