I already mentioned: adding a regular user is no big deal, be it with Gnome or via userdrake or on CLI. But xguest is a special user with extended attributes (like only temporarily saving of changes xguest makes during a session). How would you configure this? BTW: I often expressed my annoyance to see system wide settings being handled in a DE dependent tool (like this user account setting in Gnome) while there is a tool with the same function/task in MCC. A DE "System Settings" should limit its tasks to DE related functions because - DE "System settings" can conflict with MCC tools - are only avaiable for that DE, not for all others while a system related tool should be available no matter which DE is used. -- wobo
