Bug Description
The new shortcut hint shows up by default every time you enter a guest session. Personally I think that this in itself is unnecessary, but there is also a design conflict.
There is now a simple zenity dialog that shows up by default at the start of a guest session. It warns the guest about the fact that they can't save stuff in $HOME and expect it to stay. That dialog is thought to become in focus, but then there is the shortcut hint... The result does not give a pleasant impression.
I think that the shortcut hint feature should not apply to guest sessions. Guess this could be fixed either in unity or in lightdm; adding tasks for both packages for now.

Hum, I was about to close the lightdm component report, but in fact the proper way to disable that dialog might be in the guest session script (there is a file to write). Guest sessions are temporary environments started to do something, it's not likely that their user want to spend time learning about the system (they either intend to use it really and are going to have a real account, or they just want to start a webbrowser/test something/debug and they don't need the instructions)
