[Bug 1190581] Re: Support logind's automatic multiseat feature

 

Robert, automatic multiseat support is a great missing feature for a LTS
release like 14.04. Could we backport 1.11.7 patches (without
CanGraphical check) for 1.10 series?

Title:
  Support logind's automatic multiseat feature

Status in Light Display Manager:
  Fix Released
Status in “lightdm” package in Fedora:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  Now that initial logind support
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/930488 was released for
  LightDM, I'm opening this bug to request a step further: provide
  support to logind's automatic multiseat feature.

  I have absolutely no experience with D-Bus interfaces, but it seems
  that LightDM has its own D-Bus interface for seat management, so I
  don't know what would be better: replace it with logind D-Bus
  interface (if logind is present) or chaining both (e.g.: a logind's
  SeatNew D-Bus signal should trigger LightDM's SeatAdded D-Bus signal).
  Does it make sense?
