Bug description:
  [Impact]
  dm-tool add-nested-seat doesn't work anymore.

  [Test Case]
  1. Log in
  2. From a terminal run "dm-tool add-nested-seat"

  Expected result:
  A window opens with a login screen

  Observed result:
  A window opens with a black screen. An error is reported in the terminal:
  Unable to add seat: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Failed: Failed to start seat

  [Regression Potential]
  The code change could affect other remote X server configurations, though this seems unlikely. Regression tests confirm other behaviour still works.
