2011-01-28 01:29:48 Garrett McLean affects policykit (Ubuntu) gdm-guest-session (Ubuntu)
2011-01-28 01:30:26 Garrett McLean description Binary package hint: policykit I'm not even sure this is the right package, but it's my best guess. Basically I love the way guest account is implemented but I have, so far, two gripes with it: 1. I use Dvorak and it seems impossible to set the guest session default layout to QWERTY. True, the layout switching applet/widget/whatever shows up and provides easy switching but it would be nice to be able to set a default for guest that differs from my default. 2. Guest also 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 got the wrong package or if I just missed some bonehead super easy fix. Thanks!
