I could reproduce the issue on Ubuntu 16.10. Additional observations: * Logging in to a guest session fails also when you do it from the login screen without being logged in as a regular user, so I doubt that the issue is related to screen locking.
* The zenity warning dialog shows up, but without its title bar - can it possibly be compiz related? (The rest of the screen is simply black.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-session in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1627304 Title: User locking problems - guest login crashing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/1627304/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
