    Game launcher menu

    I'm setting up a kiosk that will have the GNOME games and KDE games, and people can just come up and play it. I know how to set up the normal kiosk stuff, but what I'm looking for is a program that I can load with the names, commands, and descriptions of games so that people can just click the entry in a menu of some sort, read the description, and play it. Does anyone know of software that can do this? (If that doesn't work, I'll just put icons on the desktop.)

    A cheap kind of work around / addition to your default solution would be to scale the icons obnoxiously large, and write the descriptions onto the wallpaper using GIMP.

    I like your idea. Where are you putting this kiosk / what is it being used for? Just curious.

    Best luck.
    If all else fails, read the documentation. There's nothing sissy about a MAN page.
