Since what you want sounds like you just want one app running that the user logins to, messes with, then logs out, the easiest thing to do might be to just make the workspace for that account the app. dwrite loginwindow Workspace Appname No dock, no ability to launch anything else, and when they quit the app it logs out. Kinda cool to do Terminal as the login app, no dock! wierd. la la la, -- :: Christopher Lloyd :: a74k110@titan.ucc.umass.edu :: Yrrid, Inc. ::
