Hum, I was about to close the lightdm component report, but in fact the
proper way to disable that dialog might be in the guest session script
(there is a file to write). Guest sessions are temporary environments
started to do something, it's not likely that their user want to spend
time learning about the system (they either intend to use it really and
are going to have a real account, or they just want to start a
webbrowser/test something/debug and they don't need the instructions)

Title:
  New shortcut hint conflicts with startup dialog in guest sessions

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The new shortcut hint shows up by default every time you enter a guest
  session. Personally I think that this in itself is unnecessary, but
  there is also a design conflict.

  There is now a simple zenity dialog that shows up by default at the
  start of a guest session. It warns the guest about the fact that they
  can't save stuff in $HOME and expect it to stay. That dialog is
  thought to become in focus, but then there is the shortcut hint... The
  result does not give a pleasant impression.

  I think that the shortcut hint feature should not apply to guest
  sessions. Guess this could be fixed either in unity or in lightdm;
  adding tasks for both packages for now.
