As an aside, I was thinking when I added guest support to LightDM it
would be good to make an AddGuest method to A-S and leave it to A-S to
do all the guest account work. In that case it would allow A-S to
correctly clean up when the guest account was removed. We could also
mark the guest accounts as "delete on reboot" so A-S could properly
clean them up if LightDM messes up.

Just never found the time to do it...

  gets 'polluted' with files for previous guest users.
