Is it possible to run Google Chrome in kiosk mode on OS X, specifically Snow Leopard?

I cannot find a way of doing so currently. Am I missing something?

Considering this forum post popped up on Google's help, I'm assuming a true kiosk mode hasn't been added. However, it is apparently possible to acheive some level of kiosk mode with on Windows with: 

chrome.exe --kiosk http://www.google.com

On OS X, you could probably use:

open /Applications/Chrome.App --kiosk http://www.google.com

I can't test it because I'm not on a Mac right now, but it may do the trick.

I under stand how to do this on windows through the run command, but where would I run this command from on a mac to test? Thanks – Chris Belknap Nov 9 '11 at 19:33
In OS X, go to Applications > Utilities > Terminal. This is equivalent to a Windows Run... command. – Trav Nov 10 '11 at 3:43

Windows Vista and Windows 7 only:

Right click Desktop, create a shortcut.

Target: 

%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe -kiosk http://google.com/

Start In: 

%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application

The author asks for a Mac OS X solution. This is the exact same command that was provided in Nov 2011. – Ramhound Feb 2 '12 at 14:38
