No warning for file saved during guest session
One of my niece inherited from an Ubuntu laptop, without having much idea of the OS. She also had no user password and therefore, started using it with guest session.
She soon contacted me because a file she had saved few days earlier had disappeared...
Once I figured out (via skype) that she was logged in as guest, I figure out where the problem came from, but it made me realized that Ubuntu should inform properly Guest user about the fact that modified and created files under the guest session are being deleted upon log off... They are precisely those who do not know about Ubuntu and ar etrying it.
Experiences as the one of my niece are not encouraging for new users...
I believe this is a serious bug, but before reporting it as such, I wanted to raise it here.
Thanks,
Pierre
