Bug Description
If logging out from the guest account resets it and clears all data, then the logout dialog should give a hint that all data will be reset and that the user should cancel if he/she wants to save files on a USB drive, or if he/she wants to ask the host/computer owner to copy the files to a persistent location.
summary: |
- loggin out from guest session should notify that data will be cleared + logging out of guest session should notify that data will be cleared |

Thanks for your effort to improve Ubuntu by reporting this issue!
I'd like to mention that bug #435930 is about to be fixed through an info dialog at the *start* of a guest session. Despite of that, I agree that a hint also at logout would be nice, but that's more complicated to fix and probably affects multiple packages.
