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 On 09/12/13 04:10, Robert Ancell wrote: > Can design please comment on the wording of the warning.
