Comment 3 for bug 903194

In general X behaves poorly with Linux virtual terminals, but in Natty I was able to get gdm+consolekit (patched with the multiseat patches; see <https://launchpad.net/~a7x/+archive/multiseat>) to handle multiseat properly. I had it configured with the -sharevts flag set only on the second of two seats and both seats came up properly. So either something has changed in X to break this or it's a bug/limitation in lightdm.

I'm seeing this problem in Quantal (haven't tried Oneiric or Precise).
