Description Marc Krämer 2015-04-01 23:16:19 CEST 
if you login as xguest, you get a user directory, which should contain /etc/skel and should be writeable by the user xguest.

My terminal is executed as rbash - but as far as "ls -la" tells the home-directory is owned by root and creating a file fails. Even no skel files exist. In lxde the menu is empty, and most programs complain they can't write files to the home-directory.

Looks similar to bug 5980.

Which display manager are you using? Can't reproduce the issue with lightdm (+MATE/Xfce).

Source RPM: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/repo/pkgs/xguest/ => xguest-1.0.10-12.mga5

Comment 2 Marc Krämer 2015-04-02 10:54:53 CEST 
tested with lxdm, lxde & mate as desktops.

I didn't know this depends on the display manager...
