I'd google around for "linux kiosk". And does distro really matter if
you're ripping all the good stuff out?

This may help:

http://kiosk.mozdev.org/twm-kiosk.html

twm-kiosk is a modified version of the twm window manager. The
modifications allow the window manager to start an application upon
startup and if the app askes for full screen with no titlebar then
resize to cover FULL SCREEN. A new twmrc command option, KioskMode has
been added to the window manager.
