+<PRE>2012/2/20 John Balcaen &lt;<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">mikala at mageia.org</A>&gt;:
+&gt;<i> 2012/2/20 Olav Vitters &lt;<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">olav at vitters.nl</A>&gt;:
+</I>&gt;<i> [...].
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> I agree that you don't want a package. But no problem with a checkbox
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> somewhere which does the right thing (configuring, etc). I think the
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> &quot;System Settings&quot; in GNOME allows you to easily setup a new account, so
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> IMO, functionality is not needed..
+</I>&gt;<i> In fact xguest is (well was) more thant a simply new account and has
+</I>&gt;<i> (had) at least 2 nice functionnalities:
+</I>&gt;<i> - the shell is restricted
+</I>&gt;<i> - the user home was on tmpfs clean on every log out of xguest user.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> The last functionnality was especially useful for debugging purpose
+</I>&gt;<i> because it was easy to test the &#171; default mageia&#187; setup.
+</I>&gt;<i> Somehow this functionnality was broken during the mga2 developement so
+</I>&gt;<i> now xguest account is just a restricted shell.
+</I>
+Oh! I did not notice that (did not use it lately). This temporary user
+home was the top reason for having xguest at all! If this
+functionality is gone I don't see any reason for xguest.
