There's a whole thread about the beginning design issues that starts 
here: http://lugod.org/mailinglists/archives/vox/2002-09/msg00263.html 
(almost a year ago - Debian has since acquired KDE-3 and GNOME-2.)

We have had several people set up kiosks in the past year or so.

Bill Kendrick one for Newsbeat. It runs KDE3 in kiosk mode.

Darrick Servis did one for the Davis Food Co-op. It runs mozilla with 
some special chrome (for more information, see 
http://lugod.org/mailinglists/archives/vox-tech/2003-04/msg00246.html)

You can also read as both of these men begin laying their plans for how 
to construct one of these beasts at:
