You used "chmod guest:guest", which does not work. You meant "chown guest:guest", I fixed that while merging your branch. I also reintegrated guest-prepare.sh into guest-session-setup.sh, since like this the split does not make much sense (it would if the -prepare script would be in /etc or so).

Thank you!

This bug was fixed in the package gdm-guest-session - 0.8

---------------
gdm-guest-session (0.8) jaunty; urgency=low

  [ David D Lowe ]
  * Added apparmor dependency. (LP: #310776)
  * /etc/skel is copied to guest's home directory. (LP: #296993)
  * Added guest-prepare.sh script, a script that end users can modify to
    set guest's default settings.
  * Disactivated user-dirs-gtk, jockey-gtk and update-manager services, they
    are redundant for the guest user. (LP: #255557)

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * Merge guest-prepare.sh back into guest-session-setup.sh, no reason
    to split it in two.
