You have been subscribed to a public bug by a7x (a7x):

Is there a way LightDM could deal with ConsoleKit so that all LightDM
seats can have "active" sessions as seen by ConsoleKit?

Currently, when I set two or more seats with LightDM, only the first one
is marked as active in ConsoleKit (as you can see in the output of
command "ck-list-sessions"). The olher seats, once marked as "inactive",
are not allowed by default to e.g. mount removable media.

Just for comparison, a patched GDM[1]+ConsoleKit[2] combination
maintained by Huo & Cameron at Oracle, available in a7x's multiseat PPA,
can give an active CK session for each seat.
