[Launchpad Bug Tracker <1468057@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

LightDM 1.12 introduced a new logind-based mechanism for loading seats.
Such a feature was later backported to 1.10.3 (so it can be used in
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS), but it was made optional:

[LightDM]
logind-load-seats=true

Now that we're halfway from a new Ubuntu LTS release, I think it would
be useful if next LightDM release could emit a warning about "logind-
load-seats=true" deprecation if it's set in lightdm.conf. Something like
this:

WARNING: Option "logind-load-seats=true" was specific for 1.10 series.
You can safely remove it now.
