Now that systemd-logind is coming to replace ConsoleKit in Ubuntu, we'll
finally have a proper multiseat handling mechanism of which Epoptes
could benefit.

For example, logind provides a proper way to identify seats. Each seat
receives a name of kind "seatXXXX". The default seat, called "seat0", is
always available, while any other seat is loaded on demand, if the
display manager has automatic multiseat support. Multiseat support in
LightDM is in development by the community (see
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LightDM/Specs/BasicMultiseat).

If Epoptes could identify the available seats by their names as provided
by logind, it could launch a EM_SYSTEM epoptes-client instance for each
seat.

I'll try to add some logind support in my Epoptes branches. Should I
open another bug to track these specific points (get seat names and
launch a EM_SYSTEM for each seat), or track them here?

Title:
  some more suggestions for dealing with multiseat environments

Status in Epoptes:
  New

Bug description:
  I'd like to suggest some changes in Epoptes to work better with
  multiseat environments:

  1. Add label options "Computer:Display (User)" and "Computer:Display"
  to "Labels" menu.

  2. When lauching "Root, locally" terminals for several seats
  simultaneously, launch just one terminal for each computer, not one
  for each user.
