Hi Thom,
I've done something similar to what your looking for for a kiosk app.
Email me off list and I'll send you details if you need it. The code
isn't all that clean but it works.
Basically it reads a preference file which defines the appearance and
acceptable domains, after 5 min. of inactivity it reverts to the
homepage. It has home, forward, back and refresh functions that work
through a history dictionary.
The layout is optimized for Windows but it should work with few
alterations on OSX as well.
Let me know if you are interested and I'll clean up the code and send
it to you.
Rob
