Same problem here with Intrepid Beta. If I browse a user directory as
guest with Nautilus, I can see the files and their previews which
already reveal some of their content, but cannot open them with gedit
"permission denied". In the console they can be opened.

I also think that for example /boot should be denied to the guest user,
as he might be able to read out a plaintext password that is stored in
/boot/grub/menu.lst to prevent access to root privileges during boot.

** Summary changed:

- [Intrepid alpha] guest account can access /home/user
+ [Intrepid alpha, beta] guest account can access /home/user
