Kiosk screen script doesn't maximize Chrom(e|ium)

[Austin de Coup-Crank]

The screen script at /usr/share/ltsp/kioskSession is written to automatically fullscreen both Firefox and Iceweasel.

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|*iceweasel|*chrom*)

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}/.devilspie/default.ds

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.
