--- Comment #1 from Harald Sitter <sit...@kde.org> ---
I've been thinking. maybe we should remove guest support from the UI.

windows doesn't allow guest access out of the box and on posix systems it's
also fairly garbage because writes made by the guest are effectively made by a
configurable pseudo account 'nobody'. this can lead to guests creating files
that the owner of the directory cannot delete anymore because they are owned by
nobody:nobody for example.
instead I'd set Everybody to full access in the ACL by default and have some
info in the dialog somewhere that tries to at least explain, roughly, that
share ACLs apply on top of file system ACLs and so share ACLs can be fairly
liberal with fullaccess.

Food for thought perhaps.

As for the issue at hand: I'm not sure how to visualize in the gui but checking
whether guest access is enabled is but a function call away.
