[maemo-developers] Launch maemo browser in fullscreen mode

[From: Erin Stadler]

The problem with the solution below is that you can still minimize the app
and then you are stuck with a white screen with nothing left to do but
restart it or re-flash it. Is there a way to let the desktop boot up but
stop other applications from loading other than the browser, so essentially
you keep the person from being to browse to anything other then the program
you give them?

A quick and dirty way would be to replace maemo-af-desktop with osso
browser in maemo-af-desktop startup script
(/etc/osso-af-init/maemo-af-desktop.sh).
 
A more proper way in my opinion would be to write a real init script
for it, and just remove the unneeded programs from the af initscripts.
