Kiosk Question - Lock User In

[Björnke von Gierke]

Rev itself is not capable of prohibiting alt-tab, as far as I know.

On Mac OS X however, you can set users to only have very reduced 
rights. Check out the User pane of the Mac OS X settings. You can set 
up a user that only can access your application, and not make any other 
changes. If you need full access, just log in to your default user.

As far as I know, that's the only solution, short of reformatting the 
hard disk, and installing linux.
