I am not aware of any, and we could definitely use one! Writing a UI should be relatively straightforward as the bus interfaces provide everything you need to define new seats. The APIs are described here. http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/logind Basically, with "ListSeats()" you get a list of currently defined seats, with the signals "SeatNew" and "SeatRemoved" you are notified about seats coming and going as they are hotplugged. To enumerate devices, use libudev and look for all devices marked with the tag "seat". They will have a ID_SEAT property that tells you which device a seat belongs to. Finally, do attach a device to a seat use AttachDevice(). This will write the udev rule for you in the background and make sure it takes effect. Also see: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/multiseat Hope this makes sense! It's all a bit terse but for all further questions there's this ML and IRC!
