bryncoles,
what you describe isn't a guest session, but the live session. You can
log in as "ubuntu", it has an empty password (i. e. just press enter at
the password prompt). An empty (but enabled) password is not the same as
a disabled password, which we use for the guest session.

Admirable logic, but it presented me with a problem. I wanted to try
Ubuntu on a friends computer. I ran the live cd, and it said it needed
to install additional drivers for the wifi card to work. I set the
instillation process working. When it was done prepping the drivers, it
required a resta
That's correct, and I think it's due to an intentional design decision.
There are other views on this topic though; see for instance bug 264835.

So if a guest logs out of their session for whatever reason, they cannot
use the computer again until someone with a password shows up!?!?!?!?!?

That's true, but it's by design and not a bug. You don't log in as a guest; you
launch a guest session from within the session of a regular user. Accordingly
you can't launch a guest session from the login screen in the case you describe
either.

I'm sorry, I misread the bug description...
maybe you know of this quite similar bug?
1) log on to normal account.
2) switch to guest account.
3) log out of guest account so that (the locked original session appears)
4) choose switch user to get to the gdm menu.
now there is no way to log in as

I'm still having this bug. But I also got 2 Guest accounts delivered
with intrepid: "Guest session" and "Guest". Guest prompts for a password
and is inaccessibe, "Guest session" works. Don't know if this is
intended behavior but I think it's confusing to have two Guest-accounts.
I updated to Intep

Bugs,
I have reported also bug #274296 which is related.
It's also a problem when you suspend your laptop because then a password is
asked for user 'Guest'.
This can be really annoying when you close the lid and it automatically
suspends.

This is also an issue if the guest user locks the screen. (Though I'm
not sure that doing so should even be allowed?)
