Simply that gdm-guest-session isn't even included in the Ubuntu archive any longer. A few cycles ago the guest session feature was provided by gdm-guest- session, but now that code is included in lightdm instead, and it's unlikely that the fix of this bug will be backported to stable releases with gdm-guest-session. Only that. I do agree with you that it's important that this design flaw is fixed soon, whether you consider it to be a "wishlist" bug or not. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of AIMS, which is subscribed to a duplicate bug report (982231). https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/435930 Title: Guest session does not warn about temporary nature of files Status in “gdm-guest-session” package in Ubuntu: Invalid 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.
