Title: Uses system user UID range for guest user Status in Light Display Manager: Triaged Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: lightdm creates guest users with adduser --system (or an equivalent), i. e. creates system user IDs < 500. This is less likely to conflict with LDAP etc. setups, but does cause issues like crash reports from the guest session being reported as "system errors" by apport to admin users. It might also cause some other unexpected permission issues where a privilege is granted only to system, but not to human users. I think we should change the call to create guest users in the uid >= 500 range, i. e. drop --system.
