The apparmor-caused issue of Guest account not being able to run suid
programs is actually farther-reaching. Beyond chromium, ping,
virtualbox, and other programs that require suid binaries. gksudo
doesn't work, which means that most of the items on the
System|Administration menu fail with no error message. For example, the
guest user selects System|Administration|Synaptic, and nothing happens.
Perhaps apparmor could display a friendly GUI error message, or perhaps
gksudo could be called through a wrapper that presents a friendly GUI
error message?
