I've found an ugly workaround: 1) Start the Xvnc instances standalone (e.g.via systemd). 2) Add lightdm to them using "dm-tool add-local-x-seat". This way lightdm doesn't manage the display but at least provides a greeter and working login. The only problem is that lightdm won't restart by itself once the session exits and there's no way to tell systemd to restart it because it can't track the added seat. 3) Enable the session-cleanup-script and add another "local-x-seat" on the same display there. The result works more or less, but there's no session tracking in logind and I'm not sure if some session processes don't stick around. > honestly I have the feeling you might be the only user of that feature Google searches show that this kind of setup was quite popular until 2012 or so when some widespread distro changes invalidated the usual recipies. I have no idea how people realise that use-case now. Until recently I was happily using gdm2 on whatever stable was called ca. 2009 ^^. Note that this isn't a lightdm problem, it affects all current dms as far as I could find. My issue with lightdm is the documentation more than the loss of functionality: * It suggests that it can start multiple servers configured in /etc/lightdm.conf (it can't, anymore). * It documents dm-tool add-seat (which doesn't work anymore). * The session cleanup script should run "when quitting a user session", but it's also called when you change from the user to the password field on the login screen (?!?). (I should probably file these as separate bugs, but I don't have enough time right now, sorry.)
