(gunnarhj):

Binary package hint: gdm-guest-session

The purpose with this document is to effectively merge bug reports that
request possibilities to customize or configure the guest session
feature provided by lp:ubuntu/gdm-guest-session.  Accordingly I have
marked a few such bugs as duplicates of this bug.

The author of gdm-guest-session, Martin Pitt, has published version 0.18 of the 
package for the current development version of Ubuntu.
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm-guest-session/0.18

The 0.18 release includes a few hooks to facilitate customization, and I have 
written a tutorial to show how you can make use of that opportunity.
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1566078

Please note that you don't need to have version 0.18 installed to
benefit from the ideas in the tutorial. The attached tarball guest-
session-prefs includes an install script that makes the necessary
modifications of older gdm-guest-session files. I know it works with
version 0.15 (Ubuntu 10.04), at least.

With this document I'm claiming, sort of, that the issues in the
duplicate bugs have been resolved. Even if there is no fancy GUI, there
is a reasonably convenient method to customize the appearance and
behavior of a guest session. If you don't agree, you can simply remove
the duplicate marks from those bugs that you think should keep being
independent.

However, I for one suggest that minor questions or suggestions, with
respect to the new opportunity and/or the tutorial, are discussed either
here or at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1566078  If you,
OTOH, would like to see a customization GUI, I imagine that such a wish
is best communicated separately.
