I don't quite understand the point you're trying to make, you propose
how a guest session could work, and it's quite similar to what
actually happens in LightDM. There's quite a few extra complications,
but not a lot.
I'm not aware of a single theory that says "adding complexity makes things
more robust" so i'd avoid adding anything to such a critical process that
does not /have/ to be there (let alone "not belongs there")
I don't say one could not decide to implement such functionality in the DM
and if was about an editor, which can also be a screensaver, entertainment
center, calculator, filemanager, browser, mail client, ... well "emacs",
i'd just say "hell yes, if you like it?" - but it's not.
Can I suggest you send your email to
http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/lightdm who will be able
Sure, it's certainly more appropriate.
Cheers,
