What does the DM have to do with this?

 I mean, either there's a guest account on the machine or there's not.
If you intend to sell a DM which runtime injects accounts or so, you just
lost a customer ;-P
 It "injects" accounts. The part that does this is mostly in the
downstream packaging. Also you can uncheck the box "allow guest" in
the GUII don't /think/ it's on by default in our code, but Ubuntu packaging
turns it on.

To me it sounds as if the package contains a postinstall script to "useradd guest" for a pwdless login.
I cannot say to really appreciate such "feature" :-\

 - Ability to make customisations such as changing the background
without having to edit XML

Isn't the kdm config file just a simple .ini file?

He's talking about the xml greeter.
