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 to defaults. [Please save
files in /var/guest-data if you would like to access them again
later.][Please create /var/guest-data if you would like to save files
across guest sessions.]"
Clearly, use the sentence that's appropriate depending on the existence
of /var/guest-data :)
Thanks,
Mark
