This is a bit of a bikeshedding thing IMHO, but I'm not entirely sure
whether it's a good idea for a guest session to start screen sessions.
I'll let Jamie/the security team have the decision, though.

But AFAIR lightdm kills all guest session processes at session close
anyway, right? Then it's probably harmless to allow this.

Title:
  Guest session can't write on /var/run/screen

Status in Light Display Manager:

Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  I'm customizing guest sessions in Xubuntu 15.04 in my school computer
  lab and dicovered that I'm unable to open user terminal in epoptes.
  The main reason for this problem is that epoptes uses screen for
  opening client terminals remotely on server session, but screen is
  currently unable to write on /var/run/screen for guest sessions.

  Could you please review current apparmor profile for lightdm-guest-
  session so it can get write access to /var/run/screen?
