Title:
  Request support for unhandled (no greeter) sessions

Status in Light Display Manager:
  Triaged
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  There is a particular approach of multiseat in which there is only one
  video card with multiple outputs (some authors refer to that variant
  as Zaphod multiseat). In this case, to obtain several seats there is
  just one X session running on the extended desktop with no greeter at
  all. Over that X session, there are several Xephyr instances which
  provide the various seats. Every xephyr instance is adjusted to fit
  the its output device and one greeter instance runs over every Xephyr
  session.

  Previously the parameter "handled" allowed to decide if the greeter
  should be executed for a given session. The two Xephyr sessions were
  handled but no the base X session. This feature seems to be currently
  missing in lightdm.
