Bug description:
Hello I ran into trouble to start the lightdm-guest-session in linux
mint (cinnamon).
## How to reproduce:
- boot linux mint (20.02) or ubuntu mate (20.04) I haven't tested other
distros but I think others are also affected.
- enable guest user session
- try to login as guest user
## Error logs:

## Solutions:
### bad but common work around
Solutions I found in different forums were to move lightdm-guest-session into
complain mode like this:
`aa-complain /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-guest-session`
### maybe better sollution:
My fix would be to add this to `/etc/apparmor.d/lightdm-guest-session`:
```
...
/usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-guest-session {
...
owner /run/user/[0-9]*/ICEauthority-? l,`
...
}
```
I honestly have no clue about apparmor and I'm unsure where to post this but
I hope this maybe helps some other people in the future.
