** Description changed:
When you log out from a guest session, the temporary guest account is

Yeah, calling DeleteUser would help, though it's not symmetrical since
we didn't call AddUser in the first place. There's a bunch of ways where
accounts could disappear without accounts service being explicitly
notified. The most reliable method would be for it to purge it's cache
when it detects t
As an aside, I was thinking when I added guest support to LightDM it
would be good to make an AddGuest method to A-S and leave it to A-S to
do all the guest account work. In that case it would allow A-S to
correctly clean up when the guest account was removed. We could also

Well, accountsservice provides a DeleteUser method, so from an

The attached patch is one way to fix the issue. I know that you are not
supposed to edit in /var/lib/AccountsService/users directly, so it's
probably not the most proper solution you can think of, but it works.
