I can launch the guest session from the login window - leads me to the conclusion, that this feautre is now available - could anybody please confirm for me ?

please correct me if i'm wrong - but it's 100% working on a quantal installation

Your comment surprised me, and I'm not convinced. Can you please explain from what you draw that conclusion?

Well in my new Installation You'Re able to choose guest session within lightdm
In 12, 04 I was able to choose a language fir the session at highpoint.

Pleas check on your and reopen the case if you feel like

Are you possibly using lightdm-gtk-greeter? That greeter may give you the impression that you can choose language. But did you really succeed in choosing some other language than the system language? I for one can't.

Well, I think the bug should be reopened, but I don't have permission to do it. Anyone?

I Do happen to have that permission :-)

But shouldn't we rather open a new bug as your language selection issue
relates to normal users as well ? Maybe it already exists?

This blueprint exists:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/guest-session-sane-defaults

So in any case the issue won't be forgotten.
