I still don't understand why 'people they trust' would have access to their 'personal' facebook account.

  Because they share a computer.

    Multiple user accounts.

  I often hand my laptop or iPad to my wife so that she can look at something/use it for a few minutes while sat on the sofa (her computer is a desktop in the other room). I normally don't bother logging out of whatever sites I'm logged in to. I'm not too bothered what she sees if she opens up the Facebook tab with me logged in - but I can see that it may be a problem for some. And I don't think that "hand it over for five minutes to check something" is that uncommon a use-case.

    "I normally don't bother logging out of whatever sites I'm logged in to.

If you were bothered, surely you'd hit the 'log out' button?

      Yes and no ... "here - look at this interesting article on Wikipedia" ... she starts reading ... ... I get bored and go to make cup of tea, forgetting that I hadn't logged out of Facebook ... ... she finishes article, closes tab and finds herself on my Facebook page ... It is my fault, but a "clear history" (or at least make my history invisible) function would mean that mistakes like the above will have much less impact
