This needs, at least, a warning at log-out time as well.
The new warning at log-in time is better than no warning at all but is
still TOTALLY INSUFFICIENT. Ubuntu deletes the user's data at log-out
time. The user that saved work and logged out may not be the user that
launched the guest session:
@Julian: Please note that this bug is closed. Bug #1270788 is about a
logout warning, so you may want to add your comment to that bug report
too.

Title:
Guest session
Can we do this more systemically than a dialog box? Perhaps some sort
of overlay (similar to the shutdown / restart overlay) on guest login?
As for language:
Temporary Guest Session
All data created during this guest session will be deleted when you
logout or reboot, and settings will be reset
Can design please comment on the wording of the warning. As proposed, it
is a warning dialog like this:
Title: 'Warning: Data will be deleted'
Content: 'Please be aware that this is a guest session. It means that your
data will be automatically deleted when you log out, and possible altered

My mother hit this bug this week when a cousin came home for an afternoon of
work and the next day... it was all gone!
They called me and I thought: it makes sense, Mac OS guest session also deletes
everything, maybe they didn't read the warning... but let me check. WHAT? No
warning anywhere.

Simply that gdm-guest-session isn't even included in the Ubuntu archive
any longer.

My brother just lost several hours' worth of work because of this
feature of Ubuntu. Needless to say, the chances of him ever
considering using Ubuntu in the future are now precisely zero. As you
