Title:
  Multiseat: only first seat session is marked as "active" in ConsoleKit

Status in Light Display Manager:
  In Progress
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  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.
