Bug description:
  [Impact]
  LightDM does not use the information provided by logind to support automatic multi-seat setups. We have backported this support from LightDM 1.12 so this functionality can be used in 14.04 LTS. It is disabled by default.

  [Test Case]
  1. Enable multiseat in the LightDM configuration:
   [LightDM]
   logind-load-seats=true
  2. Start LightDM
  Expected result:
  The greeter is shown on both monitors and two sessions can be logged in.
  Observed result:
  Currently only one monitor / seat works.

  [Regression Potential]
  There is some risk of unrelated code being changed. This has been reduced by the use of regression tests, manual testing and providing this in the Ubuntu Desktop PPA.
