I can't reproduce this. If I already have a guest user, the setup script
rightfully fails:
$ sudo sh -ex /usr/share/gdm/guest-session/guest-session-setup.sh
+ USER=guest
+ PWSTAT=guest P 11/28/2008 0 99999 7 -1
+ echo+ cut -f2 -d
guest P 11/28/2008 0 99999 7 -1
+ [ P != L ]
+ echo User account guest already exists and is not locked
User account guest already exists and is not locked
+ exit 1
If I start a guest session, X flickers for a while, and then returns
back to my normal user account, with the screen locked and gnome-
screensaver asking me for my password.
Nick, if you manually create a "guest" user again, do you get the
behaviour above (which is intended), or does your computer freeze
completely? Does ctrl+alt+f1 (try several times) still work and bring
you to a text console?
** Changed in: gdm-guest-session (Ubuntu)
