Public bug reported:

It would be really good if there was a GUI interface (probably in "User
Accounts" settings) with the option to disable the guest account. So
that instead of having to run a command in Terminal (or create a new
config file) such as this one: sudo sh -c 'printf "[SeatDefaults
]\nallow-guest=false\n" >/usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-no-
guest.conf'

And then having to delete the /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-no-
guest.conf file to get the guest account back, it would be really good
if there could be an option to do this somewhere in the user interface
so that you don't have to do it manually.
