Maybe you should consider going with a kiosk linux setup.  It would
allow you to boot directly into your application.  The gui could be
written with Firefox widgets.  Diskless linux kiosk systems are
available for download.  That way you don't have to mess with the X
window system or window managers.

Has some example setups.
