The owner of /home/guest is guest, who, in my experience, can change
its permissions. This only happened once; so, it's not my biggest
worry. The client messing up the panels, and screwing around with the
desktop, are the biggest causes of concern.

Thanks for your script suggestion. For now, I've set it up with
gconf-editor to lock the panels, and I've removed various system
entries from the menu, and I set root as the owner
of /usr/guest/Desktop. This is not totally secure, but I think it
creates enough hurdles to prevent vandalism of the desktop for now.
