Well, users who don't pay attention will always run into trouble
irrespective of the desktop design.

lightdm, and with that the guest session feature, is included in several
distributions, for example Ubuntu with Unity, Xubuntu, Lubuntu and
Kubuntu, and I think they may use different software for logging out
from a session. Consequently, fixing this bug will probably require
changes in several packages, and I don't think lightdm is one of them.
(Still keeping lightdm as affected package for now.)

Julian, considering that you seem to find the issue important, would you
like to work with it?

("Wishlist" is typically used for new features, and does not imply that
a bug is unimportant.)

Title:
  logging out of guest session should notify that data will be cleared

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  If logging out from the guest account resets it and clears all data,
  then the logout dialog should give a hint that all data will be reset
  and that the user should cancel if he/she wants to save files on a USB
  drive, or if he/she wants to ask the host/computer owner to copy the
  files to a persistent location.
