Bug Description
Binary package hint: gdm-guest-session
After guest exits and the cleanup completes, /tmp still contains orbit-guest, pulse-guest, a Seahorse for guest, and such cruft lying around. For those who use the guest session feature as a privacy tool, this can be undesirable. Perhaps it'd be a good idea in the cleanup to comb through /tmp and /var/tmp with find and remove all files owned by the guest user?

I can confirm this. In addition, the guest user can leave any file in /tmp and they will remain once the guest user has ended their session.
