Tom, you probably know this and just mistyped, but guest accounts
aren't new to Snow Leopard. Leopard has guest account functionality
too. The bug seems to be new to Snow Leopard though.
From:Tom Piwowar t...@tjpa.com
Not to be outdone by M$, Apple has got its own catastrophic bug...
Snow Leopard's home directory -- the one sporting the name of the
Mac's primary user -- is replaced with a new, empty copy after users
log-in to a Guest account, log out, then log-in to their standard
account. All the standard folders -- Documents, Downloads, Music,
Picture and others -- are empty, while the Desktop and Dock have
reverted to an out-of-box condition.

This Guest Account function is a new Snow Leopard feature. It lets
someone log into a Mac as a temporary user and when their business is
done and they logout, all traces of their session are deleted. It
looks like Snow Leopard is deleting far more than Apple intended.
