I suppose that what I really want is:
1. The password dialog should have two distinct options, first one is
"use guest account" and the second it "specify a user/pass manually". If
someone selects the "use guest account" option and a permission denied
is issued back to ubuntu; then ubuntu shall show a special error message
that says:
maybe the "guest" account is not enabled on the target machine?
I mean, this is not technically super beautiful because "guest" account is not
really special. but it would be a HUGE win for overall usability of ubuntu. It
would be a workaround that falls in the same category as these other
workarounds:
* how apt-get says "are you root?" because so many people are trying to install
without having root access
* nano says "mumble mumble" when you press CTRL-S
