I don't think this is a duplicate of bug #930488. That bug was about adding basic logind support, and I view this bug as a request to take it further and add basic multiseat support.

For LightDM to completely support multiseat, it should follow the protocol outlined here:
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/writing-display-managers/

Just performing steps 3 and 4 under "complete porting" would get us 90% of the way there. Automatically discovering and reacting to seats appearing and disappearing (steps 1 and 2) would be nice, but that's a fancy feature that can come later (see bug #1190581).
