Title:
  Guest Session should not show if guest session was disabled in the
  display manager

Status in The Session Menu:
  Fix Released
Status in Light Display Manager:
  Fix Released
Status in Unity Foundations:
  Fix Released
Status in “indicator-session” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  A user may disable the guest session because they only want
  authenticated users using the computer; indicator-session should
  respect this choice.

  1. Add "allow-guest=false" to /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
     (Or alternatively, if using gdm, don't install gdm-guest-session)
  2. Log out and log back in.
  3. The user menu should no longer have the Guest Session button because all it does is lock the screen.
