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.
