Ah, so you did have a pre-existing guest user. That's part of the
design, since it shouldn't tramp over an existing manually created user
account.
Thanks for testing!

gdm crashes when launching guest session
I was seeing the same symptom; after modifying guest-session-setup.sh
per the previous comment, I found that the following error was being
logged:
+ USER=guest
+ PWSTAT=guest P 03/07/2009 0 9 7 -1
+ echo guest P 03/07/2009 0 9 7 -1
+ cut -f2 -d
+ [ P != L ]
+ echo User account guest
The org.x.config.display20 failure happens here as well, so that's not
it (gdm does not ship a d-bus configuration file, and apparently this
d-bus service isn't particularly required for fast-user-switch-applet).
- Does user switching work with real users?
- Please attach /var/log/kern.log after
reassigning to gdm-guest-session which provides this option
