Title:
  use aufs instead of tmpfs for guest account

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  lightdm creates a directory in /tmp and mounts a tmpfs over it as a
  home directory for guest users.

  I'd prefer it (at least as a configurable option) if it instead would
  mount /tmp/guest... over /home/guest via an aufs file system. That way
  the admin could provide some default contents, that are completely
  restored for every login, and it does not waste RAM.

  regards
