Greetings all,

I have setup kiosk on RHEL5 to auto-login and it works well.  I want to 
populate the desktop with a couple of shortcuts each time the session is cycled.


What kind of kiosk session are you using? Are you actually starting a regular (GNOME?) desktop?

What directory should I put the shortcuts in to get them on the kiosk desktop?


That depends on your session.

For a GNOME session you'd have to get .desktop files for the applications created in $HOME/Desktop7 (where $HOME is the home of the kiosk user account).

One way to do that is to create a 'prototype' directory (if you don't already have one). Then you can put .desktop files into a <your-prototype>/Desktop/ directory.

You can also use the KIOSK_SESSION_APPLAUNCHER setting to provide a script that dynamically creates desktop files for application list entries. This also needs to be supported in the session script. This approach is not well documented. You could take a look at the Solaris 'JDS3' kiosk session type to see how it is done.
