Bug Description
The screen script at /usr/share/
I propose a change that will add support for Chrome, while also changing the functionality from fullscreen to maximize.
Lines 13 & 14 would look like this:
case $KIOSK_EXE in
*firefox|
Without this patch, the Chrom(e|ium) window appears small when launched.
To maximize instead of fullscreen, the devilspie line would look like this:
echo "(if (matches (window_name) \"$(basename ${KIOSK_EXE})\") (undecorate) (maximize))" > ${HOME}
I like maximizing better than fullscreen since it removes a small margin of window decoration. It also makes it harder to accidentally move the browser window. Since a web kiosk is meant to only run a single program, maximizing makes sense.
I have tested these changes successfully on Ubuntu 14.04 using both Chromium and official Google Chrome binary.
