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

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
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.
