Ubuntu deletes the user's data at log-out time. Warning when this is about to happen is the very LEAST we should do.

Warning at log-in time alone is totally insufficient. The user who logs out may not be the one who launched it, and may not be the guest who saved some work in that session, and/or the user may not have paid attention to the warning or remembered it. See the blueprint <https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/guest-session-sane-defaults> for some use cases of this nature.

Please elevate the severity of this bug. It is not just a wish, it is a data-loss problem.
