Title:
  Can't quit the guest session if Unity doesn't show indicators

Status in Unity:
  Expired
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I switched to a guest session (in Ubuntu 13.10) in order to take some
  screenshots of an unconfigured install. However, there was obviously
  some sort of problem with Unity, because I had no indicators in the
  panel. That's obviously a separate bug, but what was most unpleasant
  was that in that situation there is no sane way to get out of that
  guest session without powercycling the machine. There are no
  indicators and thus no system indicator with the user switcher or "log
  out". The guest user cannot lock the screen to get at the screen
  locker's "Switch User..." button in that situation (because there is
  no system indicator with a "Lock..." entry, and Ctrl+Alt+L doesn't
  work, although I don't know whether Ctrl+Alt+L didn't work because the
  system indicator wasn't there or because the guest user has no
  password and therefore is not allowed to lock the screen). There
  appears to be no process owned by the guest user named "unity" or
  "unity-panel" to try killing, so "killall unity" and "killall unity-
  panel" from a terminal didn't work. (Eventually I switched to a VC,
  found the underlying X process for the guest user, and killed it from
  there, but that's obviously not open to most.)
