yes to everything... If you are building something for public use (kiosk
or otherwise), you should go through all the configuration files and make
sure everything meets your needs.
Here's an idea... make the default styles and decorations so that the
windows don't show up or something. Then create a seperate theme (style
group, etc) and add it rams to it.
