I have found out that the first seat can be called without using th
-sharevts option. See the attached lightdm.conf. With this new
configuration I get an almost perfect two seat configuration but one
problem remain.

If the second seat closes a session (and hence restart its X server to
go back to lightdm greeting screen) the first seat is moved to a new
virtual terminal. To get back to the original terminal we need to type
alt-f7 in seat 1. This is quite annoying, but much less annoying than
killing the session with ctr-c. Note that the -sharevts option precludes
this behavior but has the ctr-c kills X problem.

** Attachment added: "Lightdm configuration with -sharevts option only in the first seat."

Title:
  Control-C causes LightDM to restart in a Multiseat configuration

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  A single computer is setup in a Multiseat setup (2 keyboards, 2 mice,
  2 video cards, 2 users).  LightDM is configured to allow multiseat so
  that multiple users can run X sessions simultaneously with -sharevts
  and -novtswitch options passed to the X server.

  On ONE of the seat greeters, pressing the keyboard combination
  "Control-C" causes ONE of the LightDM greeter sessions to quit and
  restart the associated X server.  On the other seat "Control-C" has no
  (negative) effect.  This happens regardless of whether LightDM is
  sitting in the login screen or whether the user has logged in to a
  desktop environment.  Pressing "Control-C" in the desktop environment
  (to copy text for pasting later) causes the LightDM greeter session to
  quit (as seen in the lightdm log), and then restart the X session.
