Thanks for the tips on zenity. It is indeed pretty easy to use. I'm
going with a variant of Murray's sample. Mine adds a while loop so it
keeps coming back and some user entry checking so it throws up another
zenity warning dialog if the click OK without actually selecting
anything. At the top of my script, I also use xli to set a wallpaper
image on the root window, which was something else I was wanting to do.
One thing I have noticed is that in kiosk mode, I don't get any window
decorations. It's not a big deal and was the same case with the
original XmCreateMessageBox wrapper. I just thought it maybe would look
a bit "nicer" and more polished if there was something there. Is this
possible by customizing the dtsession environment somehow? Or does the
kiosk session not really have an desktop environment to speak of?
Thanks.

I use zenity for something similar:

RESULT=`/usr/bin/zenity --list --radiolist --column=""
--column=Application FALSE Firefox FALSE Calculator FALSE Terminal`
if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then

echo "No choice"

I'm sure this is a FAQ, but I'm not finding an answer in the archives yet.
For the last couple of years, we've been using the CAM chooser script from
http://blogs.sun.com/ThinkThin/entry/cam_chooser_application. This has
served us well until now, when I need to ad a third login option. I haven't
figures out yet how to override the "quit" behavior and use that button to
enable the third application.
Can somebody either point me to documentation on how to do this, or is there
a better way to allow an un-authenticated session to choose an application
from a list?
Thanks.
