Well yes most likely, but not always.
I know users and can imagine situations (as describe above) that also these
devices are used as docking station, not to create a new session.

It depends on the user/admin. So things should not be done automatically,
like it's done now, by setting the ID_AUTOSEAT to 1 for these devices.

Udev should first check the settings set by the administrator what to to
with these devices: an extra seat or a docking station.
