I did select jds3 and gnome does come up without logging in to the
session. I have not tried to fireup applications within the kiosk session.

I've been running 3.1 on Solaris for a couple of years now with no

all our 270 to present a browser to access our intranet and the
ability to open and print pdf (all Solaris enviroment, no Windows).
If user inserts his token then it prompts a terminal server session
to a windows server. Since I was running Solaris the kiosk mode opens
CDE but now with Opensolaris, gnome is the Xwindows environment. The
gnome desktop in kiosk mode has a start menu that might could use,
but if not how can I remove it? Where is this menu in kiosk mode?
If you are referring to the 'JDS3' kiosk session, does that even work
on OpenSolaris? Last I checked, various parts of that, among them the
menu construction, were completely broken on recent Gnome (due to
Gnome changes since Solaris 10). This is not trivial to correct, so
hasn't been done yet.
You are free to build your own kiosk session, either completely
without a window manager or with a window manager of your choosing.
The 'JDS3' kiosk session (for Solaris 10) builds gnome configuration
data (including a menu definition) and then lets gnome-session take
care of starting a window manager, panel, etc. The JDS3 kiosk always
includes a panel with a window list applet. Without this, minimized
windows would vanish, with no visual indication that they are still
there and no point-and-click way to recover them.
The menu probably could be made optional. But a desktop-style kiosk
session (like the CDE or JDS ones) really only make sense, if you need
a configurable menu to allow the user to start one of several
applications. If you need just a single application, then you can make
a session script of your own, that first configures and then starts
your application. If you need a window manager, just launch one as
background process in your script.
