    Guest Account w/o Gnome Panel?

    Is there any way to access the guest account without having to go through the Gnome Panel? I'm using Cairo-Dock and disabled the Gnome Panels since it just gets in the way, but the only way I know to get access to the guest account is through gnome panel.

    If there isn't, is there a place where I can go to recommend this feature?

    "access the guest account" means ?
    there is the logout applet to control your session (right click and middle click)

    Hello fabounet. I'm trying to find the place to log into the guest account via Cairo-Dock (I'm assuming that is the program you're referring to) but the middle-click only brings out the "Log Out" and "Switch User" buttons. The right click is only to bring up the context menu for the "Log-Out" app (which contains no option for switching to the guest account).

    /usr/share/gdm/guest-session/guest-session-launch
    I just created a launcher with that command and it takes me to the guest account in ubuntu. Marking as solved, although I'd like to see this as part of the logout app in Cairo-Dock.
