Opera Kiosk OSX

Hi!

I'm trying to set up an opera kiosk (running the latest version of opera).

1) How do I get rid of the "Welcome to Opera" Splash screen?
I tried editing the "operprefs.ini" but only found "Show Startup Dialogue" which is set to 0
I found some old references to set "Show Splash Screen" to 0, but don't know where this is

2) How do you set in kiosk mode on OSX?
I've gone through the FAQ and it says for OSX use this in the command line:
Applications/Opera.app/Contents/MacOS/Opera -kioskmode

Which is fine, but I'd like this to boot automatically as a login item every morning. Currently I'm using the automator to open the terminal and run this command, but it doesn't seem optimal. In IE you usually just add a -kiosk to the path of the .exe.

3)When Opera loads OSX seems like it hasn't started the wifi or something because it will say page not available.
Is there a way to have the browser refresh? Any suggestions from those that have used Opera as a kiosk browser?

Thanks!
