Hey,
Sounds like you've done a great job!
For the full screen and keyboard issue: I think you may have some
success using the Opera Browser's kiosk mode, especially if it is to
be a news 'appliance' as it makes it easy to start and (more)
difficult to break. It also has simple/powerful keyboard navigation
built in as well.

cheers,
Owen.
