[Bug 888714] [NEW] disabling guest login in lightdm also disables account switcher in unity

 

Public bug reported:

I need to disable guest logins for lightdm, and did so by adding the
line "allow-guest=false" to /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.

However, this also has the side-effect of disabling the user-switcher in
the indicator area of Unity after I log in, which is bad. I want the
user-switcher, I just don't want guest accounts enabled.

This is true for Oneiric, and presumable for Precise as well.
