Good point.

The hotkeys=no must be a placebo, cause it doesn't even effect these key

Subject: RE: Witango-Talk: Closing a browser window without user
clicking

I prefer to build apps such that it doesn't matter if the user hits the
back
button. There is no way I know to ensure that the user can't go back.
Toolbar=no can be bypassed with ctrl-n to open a new window with a
toolbar.

And someone here had some software that prevents disabling right click.
It
also disables popup windows.

So the only way to ensure a user doesn't mess up with the back button is
to
allow it and build for it.

just my $.02
