Wingpanel unusable from guest session #355

Closed inad9300 closed 3 years ago

Description

When logging in to elementary OS as a guest, attempting to interact with Wingpanel kills it. It simply goes away and never returns, making the OS unusable.

It is rather embarrassing, I must say, to have to justify to your friends and colleagues your choice of a broken OS. Unfortunately, this experience is similar whichever direction you look within the Linux sphere.

Platform information

Can you confirm whether it's only opening the applications menu that crashes wingpanel? Do the other indicators (network, bluetooth, power, etc...) work if you use those first?

If so, this is probably a duplicate of: https://github.com/elementary/applications-menu/issues/393

Indeed, it seems to be only the applications menu that breaks it. Sorry for the noise.
