I am glad that Bug #435930 has been addressed, but I agree with Julian
that this is still a significant design flaw.  Imagine if Microsoft Word
displayed the message on launch, "Warning: changes to this document will
be lost unless you save it to file before closing Word", and then gave
absolutely no warning when closing the document.  Ask this question: if
an average computer user lost their data because Ubuntu didn't warn at
logout, would they blame themselves or Ubuntu?  I think the answer is
clear.

Title:
  logging out of guest session should notify that data will be cleared

Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  If logging out from the guest account resets it and clears all data,
  then the logout dialog should give a hint that all data will be reset
  and that the user should cancel if he/she wants to save files on a USB
  drive, or if he/she wants to ask the host/computer owner to copy the
  files to a persistent location.
