I already mentioned: adding a regular user is no big deal, be it with
Gnome or via userdrake or on CLI. But xguest is a special user with
extended attributes (like only temporarily saving of changes xguest
makes during a session). How would you configure this?
BTW: I often expressed my annoyance to see system wide settings being
handled in a DE dependent tool (like this user account setting in
Gnome) while there is a tool with the same function/task in MCC. A DE
"System Settings" should limit its tasks to DE related functions
because
- DE "System settings" can conflict with MCC tools
- are only avaiable for that DE, not for all others while a system
related tool should be available no matter which DE is used.
