We have written a python application that has buttons for windows login, and other applications.  When I go to "Advanced" and "Kiosk Mode" in the web gui, I don't see a "New" button per the documentation. 
It will be available only if the currently selected Kiosk session 
supports the addition of applications as
mentioned in the documentation. SRWC kiosk session doesn't support 
additional of other applications.
It would be supported JDS3/CDE kiosk sessions on Solaris.

Thanks
