ConsoleKit is going away, and will be completely replaced by systemd's
logind in saucy. Partial support for logind is already in raring. I
have some changes to LightDM in progress to add more complete logind
multiseat support. If you are using Ubuntu, please try installing the
version of LightDM in my PPA
(<https://launchpad.net/~a7x/+archive/multiseat>):
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:a7x/multiseat
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
More complete instructions can be found by visiting the PPA page.

Title:
Multiseat: only first seat session is marked as "active" in ConsoleKit
Status in Light Display Manager:
In Progress
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Bug description:
Is there a way LightDM could deal with ConsoleKit so that all LightDM
seats can have "active" sessions as seen by ConsoleKit?
Currently, when I set two or more seats with LightDM, only the first
one is marked as active in ConsoleKit (as you can see in the output of
command "ck-list-sessions"). The olher seats, once marked as
"inactive", are not allowed by default to e.g. mount removable media.
Just for comparison, a patched GDM[1]+ConsoleKit[2] combination
maintained by Huo & Cameron at Oracle, available in a7x's multiseat
PPA, can give an active CK session for each seat.
