Bug Description
Binary package hint: gdm-guest-session
Hello,
Further persons in different forums have asked how to customise the guest session. It appears that theses scripts doesn't use the /etc/skel as a skeleton for the new user's home directory.
I have made a little hack to copy the content of the /home/skel directory into the new home folder.
This is my first hack, and I'm not sure I'm doing it right : I don't use any variable for the directory /etc/skel and furthermore we could want to get the guest skel from a different directory (e.g. /etc/skel.guest) to separate normal new users and guests.
And, I don't realy know how to make a good patch, so I'll just add my modified version for the script. My modifications are on lines 45 and 46.
Thanks
