Hello Brian,

Do you really need KDE then. Why not just start Mozilla up on its own under 
X? If that is all you want, then googling for "mozilla" and "kiosk"

http://www.google.com/search?q=mozilla%20kiosk&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

should give you plenty of links. If you need more than that, can you explain 
a bit more please.
