I think this has to do with the way gdm-guest-session works, i.e. it must be locking /etc/passwd while running to prevent conflicts. I've not really had the time to investigate, and I don't think Martin Pitt has, either. Later in the cycle, maybe. > All good work.

Also, the Wiki page is not clear about privacy issues related to core dumps : it only explicitly mentions stacktraces. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToTriage#Apport%20crash%20reports > 2.
