[Gunnar Hjalmarsson <gunnar.hjalmarsson@xxxxxxxxx>]

Gunnar Hjalmarsson has proposed merging lp:~gunnarhj/lightdm-gtk-greeter/guest-session into lp:lightdm-gtk-greeter.

Commit message:
Replace the label "Guest Account" with "Guest Session".

Requested reviews:
  LightDM Gtk+ Greeter Development Team (lightdm-gtk-greeter-team)

For more details, see:

There are two reasons why I suggest that "Guest Session" is used instead of "Guest Account".

1. An "account" indicates something persistent, while a guest session is of a temporary nature per se.

2. "Guest Session" is used everywhere else - in unity-greeter, in Unity's system menu, in Ubuntu's desktop guide, in the tutorial https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CustomizeGuestSession ...
