I would assume it is possible to corrupt the guest account if you log in as administrator and change settings within the guest account. Not sure it it reverts back to default settings once logged out or not.

Anwser you question, Ask ubuntu has a post about the default guest sessions settings. http://askubuntu.com/questions/9515/how-do-i-change-the-guest-session-defaults

I created a "new user" account which should set everything up with the default settings still no good.

I have been hard on Ubuntu on this issue. In their defense NVIDIA is broke on GNOME 3 too. So I take back my anger.

I DO HAVE A temp FIX SUGGESTION. I think Canonical/Ubuntu should remove all the NVIDIA drivers in the system that we know do not work and let the ones that do work stay up until a long term fix is made. This issue will hurt Ubuntu in long term if it is not done. Then if someone wants the newer drivers, they can break their system.
