[LightDM] How to setup guest account

Thanks, I modified it a bit for our needs and it works great!

However, I cannot get the LightDM GTK Greeter to show any option for
guest login as long as I do not also enable the user list. For privacy
reasons, I cannot leave the user list enabled in production.

How do I login to the guest session without the user list being enabled?

Cheers,
Nik
