That I missed!! This makes sense. I thought a device as a docking station is hanlded seperate, with the tags for the seat set like seat1 ot seat2. Just attach to seat0. >> Huh??

Thus, with the loginctl line > above you can do what you are asking for... I understand that with loginctl attach you can assign a device to seat0, making it a docking device (other programs should pick this up of course), this creates a permanent rule. I will experiment with it. I've got three of these plugable devices. Earlier I've given an example about handling the first device as a docking station, and every next as extra seat. This is not a suggested default, but a situation as example., and how the system can handle this situation compared too what you want.
