Public bug reported:
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.
Thanks in advance,
Dan T.
