Bug Description

The guest session seems to inherit all my startup programs, including Docky and Gnome-Do. If possible, I'd like it to not inherit these things.

This isn't even a bug, more a feature request. Apologies in advance if I just missed some bonehead super easy fix.

Thanks!

Keyboard layout is already covered in bug 307196, so I'm revising this bug to cover just login items.

Guest session does not inherit account specific settings. The problem is that the default settings of some applications make them be launched automatically, unless the user choose to disable it, and that the latter opportunity is not applicable to guest sessions, since they always start with a fresh environment. Changing back to the old summary for now, which at least is correct.

Please see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1566078 for a way to fix the problem.
