Dirk, where can I find kdenox? I looked in freshmeat, rpmfind and
sourceforge without success. It uses KHTMLPart? The short description you
gave (kiosk mode) and some good DCOP interfaces is everything we need for
this project.
Folks, thank you for your responses.
Regarding all those key-bindings and accelerators issues, we are planning
to run this solution without KDE nor a window-manager. We'll have only
XServer, a special keyboard, no mouse, a screen, and the browser (probably
started with -geometry parameter).
Regarding writing our own application, this will be made later, probably
using Java. But right now the customer needs a very practicall solution to
keep using its Cobol/Dos application in MicroFocusCobol/Linux with minimum
changes.
Anybody wants to write a simple-free-opensource-rpmized application using
KHTMLPart and DCOP in one week, to be used in this solution? It MUST run
with the KDE libraries present in RedHat 7.1 because our POS hardware need
special 3rd party drivers that are supported and bound only to RH7.1
kernel version (2.4.2).
The importance of DCOP is that the hardware has a special keyboard that X
can't understand. Input will be handled by the customer application, and
HTML files will be generated. Then, the application will call the browser
DCOP interfaces to update the window. Ugly, but fast to do with what we
have now.
Thank you,
Avi

I suggest you have a look at kdenox - despite its name you can still use
it
with X as well.
it is a simple browser that can be easily expanded for your needs (i.e.
use
the kiosk mode that is built-in).
