I tried tome's suggestion and it boots to the default "guest" desktop
However... the "guest" desktop does not mirror the "root" (superuser) desktop
Instead of

Code: Select all

cp -a
use

Code: Select all

cp -af

I think the problem here is you want to boot into guest and then copy the root config files into guest, then own them. You will need to either put this earlier in the boot sequence (before guest logins) or use sudo so that guest does not need to enter a password for sudo.

The other thing is that perhaps not ALL config files for your desktop reside in /home/guest/.config. Some universal configs may live in /etc or /usr.
