I was not clear about it when submitting this report, but have come to understand it afterwards. Should have invalidated this bug myself; sorry.

Maybe something like this is needed in lightdm: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/gdm/ubuntu/view/head:/debian/patches/ubuntu_guest_session.patch As a side note, gdm-guest-session does not work in Oneiric with gdm 3 (built from my latest merge proposal) either, but in that case there is no error message. The only thing printed is something like: method return sender=:1.8 -> dest=:1.61 reply_serial=2 object path "/org/gnome/DisplayManager/Display2" but that's printed also in Natty with gdm 2 where it works.
