Bug Description
Hello,
After upgrading to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, my multi-seat setup stopped working. My issue is what's described in https:/
> On seat0, as soon as I click on the GDM login screen, the entry form for the password completely vanishes and I am left with the standard gray background, with the only option to restart/stop the computer.
> On seat1, I can click and enter my password. However the desktop gets started on seat0 rather than on seat1.
> Using Wayland or X for GDM has no effect on the general behavior.

We've confirmed the same issue. The issue wasn't present in Bionic, and isn't present in GDM 3.36.3 on Fedora 32.
Does anyone know if this fix would appear in 20.04 LTS or only in 20.10?
We're currently rebuilding our computing labs for remote access (Apache Guacamole -> tigervnc -> XDMCP) and are eager to upgrade from 18.04 to 20.04 (LTS to LTS).
