I think there is a JIRA issue already opened for opening connections in full-screen mode - this would take a little bit of work to do to integrate with the various browser APIs for triggering full-screen mode. Additionally, locking down shortcut keys and such would also take a little work - someone mentioned recently that the keyboard locking API for Chrome is out, and so that would probably need to be leveraged/implemented. So, yes, a little work would need to be done to make Guacamole operate in a truly locked-down kiosk mode. There are some work-arounds for this, though - you can do some O/S level and browser-level stuff to limit what apps can be launched, what shortcut keys are available, etc., that wouldn't require modifications to Guacamole. -Nick
