Well, in Pd you can already send an "editmode" message to a canvas to toggle editmode, as well as other messages (obj, clear, etc.).  So instead of making a new [gui] object to
handle this "kiosk mode" stuff, is it possible to make a plugin so that you can also
send messages like "fullscreen 1" to the canvas that you want to make fullscreen?
 
I've only learned a little bit about tcl so I don't know how much is possible to do through
plugins.

I am a Tcl newbie too, yet i've attached an initial version of a fullscreen plugin for pd-devel.
/usr/lib/pd-extended/startup is a nice place to keep it. (NB i had to add it to the path manually)

Tcl 8.5 fullscreen is still quirky on my Ubuntu Jaunty + Compiz. When fullscreen, new windows, including those invoked from the menu, appear in the background. (And I couldn't find a way to hide the menu.) Modal dialogs appear in the foreground, at least. Another quirk is that when we have a fullscreen window and we bring another one into the foreground, Gnome menus appear, then they go away when the focus is back to the fullscreen window.
Any ideas on these problems are highly appreciated.
