In /etc/gdm/PostSession/Default you should add (before exit 0)
something like
that (untested)
if [ "$USER" = guestuser ]; then
rm -rf ~guestuser
deluser guestuser
adduser guestuser
# empty password for guest user
passwd -d guestuser
fi
(change passwd -d guestuser to
yes "Password"|passwd guestuser
if you wish a real password for your guest).
