I still want unregistered users to be able to see the front page, and maybe a page or two more - describing who we are and how to join up.
If I tick those options, surely they would not be able to see any Welcome page that I wanted them to see?
Well, I can't speak for releases newer than 2.6 - but for that it was really simple. Maybe you haven't found the 'uregistered users' settings on the users rights form ?
have a look at http://shept.org - it's xwiki powered does pretty much what you describe. I don't remember any particular problems with the rights setup ....

Hi Andreas,
Your site is perfect for illustrating my concerns about the "open by default" configuration of xwiki.
I was able to register an account (I used my real email, but it could've been a fake one), and was able to make a comment on your page here: http://shept.org/docs/Shept/Features
Did you really intend to leave that page open for comments? I would guess not, since you turned off comments on your WebHome page.
I find it very scary how easy it is to leave doors and windows open.
I can shut the doors I find open, but I have no way of confirming that I have closed all the doors, especially the back doors that I do not know about (eg whatever is in the XWiki space)
There is only one main places (global wiki) with right setup by default then you have several technical spaces with restricted edit access to admin group like XWiki and ColorThemes (and that's the same space that should have view right enabled in a closed wiki since there where are located resources shared everywhere) and that's it. If you find anything else, it's a bug. If you remove comment right globally then you don't have it anywhere else, same for any other right.
