a museum had one insallation of mine and just pulled the plug every  
evening. i asked them to rethink the strategy.


here is a patch which makes Gem fullscreen on startup.
BEWARE: you must have exposé corners enabled otherwhise there is no

i do work with applescripts in some cases. if the computer is off at  
nights i run the periodic scripts at at startup.
there is one installation running on a macmini since 2 years now  
without a single failure, switching the computer on and off every day.
