Bug Description

The "guest session" account considers a "lock" as a log out and throws away the session. When combined with locking with screen off, it means that out of the box the guest session expires after a matter of minutes without warning to the user.

This means someone i.e. using guest mode for a presentation/meeting loses their place as soon as the display turns off to save battery.

Instead, guest mode should not lock when the screen turns off, and/or locking the guest mode should not log them out.

Changed in elementaryos:
