I agree. In high-school I work for we have user accounts shared between computers using NFS/NIS. All students and most of the teachers have individual accounts. Unfortunately there are also people without accounts occasionally using the computers, so a guest account is a must. Right now it's just a normal account named "guest", but since it's not temporary it collects tons of useless files and configuration, and since it's still shared over network two people are able to log in at the same time, and potentially corrupt programs configuration.
I thought Ubuntu 8.10 will solve all those problems, so I'm very disappointed to hear you won't be able to use this account from the login screen.
