These two session types are for Kiosk mode. They use JDS and CDE as environment for the Kiosk session. For example, the CDE session, uses the right-click on backdrop to provide for launching apps and logging out. The JDS session uses a locked down gnome which has a Launch menu provided for launching Kiosk applciations and logging out. uttsc adds a third session type which loads no desktop environment. It only uses the blank X server canvas to display a full screen RDP client. > If so should we just look at the uttsc supplied files and use them as > examples, or is there more documentation coming? The UTTSC files are good examples.... The logic is now a bit different in the new Kiosk Mode. With the old (CAM) mode, you only had applications defined. You had the option of including the dtsession application which was your window manager. In Kiosk mode, you have Sessions which launch session scripts, and applications which are understood by the session scripts and added to the respective menus. Most folks only had one application configured in CAM mode and this was their CAM script. It was responsible for doing all of the logic, setting printers, loading utaction, launching the application, etc. To get a somewhat similar logic with Kiosk, you would create a Session type for your CAM script. This session descriptor would instruct Kiosk as to where your CAM script was, and which directory to include as prototypes.
