I mean, either there's a guest account on the machine or there's not. If you intend to sell a DM which runtime injects accounts or so, you just lost a customer ;-P > - Ability to make customisations such as changing the background > without having to edit XML I read that in the linked description ("had to edit xml as root") - leaving alone that one could theoretically use a 660 symlink to a wallpaper: How deep does that "user" control go? Is it intended to grant users to alter the greeter appearance w/o any credentials like polkit etc. in the middle? I'd preferably not see any user even alter the wallpaper w/o appropriate privileges - let alone any QML logics. (whether a permitted user can ultimately click click edit the appearance from a GUI, i don't care ;-) Cheers, Thomas
