great! can you explain how kiosk mode is invoked? is there a flag at
start up, or can I change to kiosk mode during runtime? or is it a
totally different version than the normal pd and I can only run either/or?
can you send a screenshot how it looks?
is it already included in one of the sources or do I have to patch the
source code to get the kiosk version?
