Bug Description

Binary package hint: gdm-guest-session

I assume this is a known issue, but couldn't find a bug report:

There appears to be no more guest session support in Karmic. /usr/share/gdm/guest-session/guest-session-launch just says "** (gdmflexiserver:3791): WARNING **: No longer supported", locks the current screen, and does nothing else.

This bug was fixed in the package gdm - 2.27.90-0ubuntu2

---------------
gdm (2.27.90-0ubuntu2) karmic; urgency=low

  [ Robert Ancell ]
  * debian/patches/13_cache_ck_history.patch:
    - Cache result of ck-history to make startup fast (LP: #400863)

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * Add 14_guest_session.patch: Rewrite guest session support for new gdm
    architecture. This now adds a D-BUS operation StartGuestSession(), since
    gdmflexiserver is being deprecated. (LP: #404870)

This bug was fixed in the package gdm-guest-session - 0.11

---------------
gdm-guest-session (0.11) karmic; urgency=low

  * gdm/guest-session-cleanup.sh: Ignore errors from /tmp/ cleanup, so that we
    still attempt to delete the temporary user.
  * gdm/guest-session-setup.sh: Use gconftool-2, "gconftool" does not exist
    any more.
  * gdm/guest-session-launch: Replace gdmflexiserver call (which only worked
    with the old gdm) with dbus-send invocation which works with the current
    karmic gdm. Bump gdm dependency accordingly. (LP: #404870)
    NOTE: This currently does not enforce AppArmor restrictions, this will be
    fixed in a subsequent update, see LP #425793.
