[Bug 1364911] [NEW] Support globbing in seat config sections

 

Public bug reported:

Add support for simple globbing in seat config sections.

Example: if a config section [Seat:seatFoo*] is available in
lightdm.conf, it will match any seat name starting with "seatFoo", like
"seatFooBar", "seatFooBaz", etc.

In particular, [Seat:seat*] will match any seat added from logind
(including seat0), and [Seat:*] will match any seat (including those
eventually added from other mechanisms than logind), just as
[SeatDefaults] currently does.

It was already merged into trunk in revision 2040, but has been reverted
in revision 2042 due to some unexpected problem, so I'm opnening this
bug report to keep track of changes.

** Affects: lightdm
