---------------
lightdm (1.1.9-0ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low
[ Gunnar Hjalmarsson ]
* debian/guest-account: Add trailing '/' to the line
"gs_skel=/etc/guest-session/skel" (LP: #956152).
[ Robert Ancell ]
* New upstream release:
* Add --show-users/--hide-users to lightdm-set-defaults
* Call initgroups before pam_setcred - this allows pam_setcred to change
group membership correctly (LP: #880104)

Title:
A more flexible use of the /etc/guest-session/skel hook desirable
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
The /usr/sbin/guest-account file includes a couple of 'hooks' to make
customization of the guest sessions easier. One possibility is to
create the /etc/guest-session/skel directory, and fill it with guest
session specific stuff that should always be included when launching a
guest session.
An idea to extend this possibility was recently discussed at
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1566078. The idea is to
create a special purpose regular user, and replace the directory /etc
/guest-session/skel with a symlink with the same name.
sudo ln -s /home/someuser /etc/guest-session/skel
However, that approach proved to require a trailing slash on the line
gs_skel=/etc/guest-session/skel
in /usr/sbin/guest-account.
The proposed change does not prevent the original idea, i.e. a
directory instead of a symlink.
