Bug Description

The ability to log in as a guest is unsuitable in many environments, but it is enabled by default.

There is no easy, discoverable way of disabling this feature. After sifting through obsolete how-tos, users of 13.04 find they need to drop to a terminal and edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf, adding 'allow-guest=false'.
