Re: guest logins created with script

Just to remind myself and clarify that this issue is *solved:* On the xfce
desktop the 'Application Autostart' list is found in the 'Session and
Startup' section of Settings Manager. The 'Blueman Applet (Blueman
Bluetooth manager)' appears to be the only app having this issue with the
absolute path to the 'guest' account.

Many thanks for the guidance!
