Title:
  lightdm 1.12 breaks config semantics for multiple X servers

Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Previously lightdm.conf would allow configuration of multiple
  instances of the the display manager across multiple instances of the
  X server, using [Seat:<num>] section headers.  These semantics could
  be used for multiseat setup as well as for using different virtual
  terminals to switch between X servers.

  Newer versions of lightdm ignore [Seat:<num>] sections.  Multiseat
  configuration was changed to be more explicit, but no indication was
  given of how simply to configure multiple display manager instances
  bound to different X server instances.

  Unless newer versions support undocumented features, it would appear
  that the functionality of lightdm has regressed.

  This regression appears when Ubuntu release is upgraded to 14.10 from
  14.04 or earlier.  The regression is confirmed in lightdm
  1.12.1-0ubuntu1.
