when the user locks into a guest session it should not be possible to do "gnome-screensaver -lock" (e.g. via System/Lock screen). The user can not unlock the screen again.

  * gdm/guest-session-setup.sh: Disable screensaver startup, so that user
    switching, suspend, etc. does not trigger the screensaver lock. guest has
    no password, and g-screensaver isn't (and can't be) clever enough to
    detect that. (LP: #262228)
