Q1480 Can JavaScript start a window in "Kiosk Mode"?

The following is the best JavaScript can do:

Internet Explorer only:

<script language="JavaScript"><!--
window.open('page.html','newwin','fullscreen');
//--></script>

Internet Explorer 4+ and Netscape Navigator 4:

<script language="JavaScript"><!--
w=800;
h=600;
if (document.layers || document.all) {
   w = screen.availWidth;
   h = screen.availHeight;
}
window.open('page.html','newwin','width='+w+',height='+h+',top=0,left=0,screenX=0,screenY=0');
//--></script>

However it does not look so good if the user has moved the taskbar around. And it also does not work under X-Windows (Unix/Linux).
