makes it very necessary.

Anyway if you want a really simple GUI try icewm or dwm. The former recently
had a thread on its mailing list about how to lock it down for use as a
kiosk and the latter has < 5000 lines of code so it should be easy to modify
to your liking if you know some C.

Also look at devd(8) for running your script - The devd daemon provides a
way to have userland programs run when certain kernel events happen.
