[Bug 435930] Re: Guest session does not warn about temporary nature of files
This bug was fixed in the package lightdm - 1.9.6-0ubuntu1
---------------
lightdm (1.9.6-0ubuntu1) trusty; urgency=medium
* New upstream release:
- Support Mir sessions in xlocal seats by starting a unity system compositor
for each session.
- Add --screen and --fullscreen options to "dm-tool add-nested-seat"
- Don't try to compile liblightdm-qt if liblightdm-gobject will not be
compiled.
- Stop greeters warning if sessions directories not present or lightdm.conf
doesn't exist - this is valid.
- Fix log name for Mir display servers
- Fix double removal of source IDs
* debian/guest-account:
* debian/guest-session-auto.sh:
* debian/lightdm.install:
* debian/rules:
- Warn users about the temporary nature of a guest session. (LP: #435930)
* debian/lightdm.install:
* debian/lightdm.maintscript:
- Move configuration from /etc to /usr/share so dpkg doesn't keep it around.

Bug description:
Hi all,
this is not a bug per se, rather a request for a feature. One of the
users I support has allowed someone to use his desktop using the
"Guest Session", not realising that files saved during this session do
not persist after logout. The person in question proceeded to do a
good few hours work on the machine, saving files to the Guest Session
desktop. They were of course extremely dismayed when they logged in
again, only to find that their work has disappeared.
I think it would be a nice feature if, upon logging into the Guest
Session, a splash screen appeared telling the user in no uncertain
terms that any files they saved during the session would not persist
after they logged out. I am a linux sysadmin and I was unaware of
this property of the Guest Session and had to search online for an
explanation for the behavior which, I'm sure you agree, is not ideal.
Thanks in advance,
Dan T.
