Title: Guest session does not warn about temporary nature of files Status in “gdm-guest-session” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in Baltix GNU/Linux: New Bug description: Hi all, this is not a bug per se, rather a request for a feature. One of the users I support has allowed someone to use his desktop using the "Guest Session", not realising that files saved during this session do not persist after logout. The person in question proceeded to do a good few hours work on the machine, saving files to the Guest Session desktop. They were of course extremely dismayed when they logged in again, only to find that their work has disappeared. I think it would be a nice feature if, upon logging into the Guest Session, a splash screen appeared telling the user in no uncertain terms that any files they saved during the session would not persist after they logged out. I am a linux sysadmin and I was unaware of this property of the Guest Session and had to search online for an explanation for the behavior which, I'm sure you agree, is not ideal.
