Window is dragable in Kiosk Mode on Mac 10.6.8

We have a Opera Kiosk setup. I've just upgraded most of them from 10.5.8 with Opera 10.10 to 10.6.8 and Opera 11.52. I thought it was pretty secure and all locked down but it seems you can drag the Opera Window around if you click on the one toolbar we have enabled or the small grey area under the address bar. Which means people can get to the Desktop of the Mac. Any ideas how to make this not happen in Opera?

We currently use:

/Applications/Opera.app/Contents/MacOS/Opera -kioskmode -kioskbuttons -kioskresetstation -kioskwindows -nomaillinks -nosave -nocontextmenu -nohotlist -nodownload -nochangefullscreen -noprint -nochangebuttons -nosysmenu -resetonexit -nokeys -noexit -nomenu"

+ a tweaked operaprefs.ini

It works pretty well apart from this. The old 10.5.8 Kiosks didn't have this problem.

Regards,
Matt

I can also verify the Window is draggable in the following versions: 10.63, 11.11, 11.51 under 10.6.8.

But not draggable in version 10.10.

Hm. I would recommend upgrading to OS Lion. Run in the new full screen mode there. Have an AppleScript looping to detect that Opera is the focused window, and restore focus to Opera if it is lost.

—and remove write permissions on the Desktop. Turn off Spotlight.

Thanks for the reply Dan.

Unfortunately the Mac minis are core solos and don't have 2gb of RAM so can't run Lion.
