Bug Description

In Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, when a removable medium is plugged in a USB port assigned to a given seat of a multiseat system, Unity tries to mount it on all seats. If a logind-enabled gvfs package is installed, only the right seat will have access to medium contents, but the other seats will still show error dialogs of kind "Failed to mount removable disk: permission denied".

Just for comparison, in GNOME 3.10, when a removable medium is plugged in a given seat, only this seat will get notified, while the other seats remain silent. Unity should have the same behaviour.
