More investigation shows that this is actually a Unity bug. The black
screen you are seeing is the lock screen but Unity doesn't have a lock
screen when in guest mode. The lock screen is triggered when you switch
users via the indicator.

You can also trigger this by typing alt+ctrl+L inside the guest session.
It will show a black screen that disappears when you move the mouse.

The solution should be that Unity does nothing when the lock screen is
requested to be activated.

** No longer affects: lightdm

** Package changed: lightdm (Ubuntu) => unity (Ubuntu)

Bug description:
  Hi,
  I switch to activated guest session, but the screen remains blank. I have to wake it up with keyboard/mouse action.

  How to reproduce:
  1. login with your account normally.
  2. switch to guest session from the panel menu "Switch Account... -> Guest Session", now it's under guest session and the display is normal.
  3. switch back to your user account, then switch to guest session again.
  4. The screen remains blank.

  I can't reproduce this issue under Precise.
  Vivid snapshot 22-Mar-2015 can also reproduce this issue.

  lightdm 1.10.3-0ubuntu2
