ok, thanks for that. the issue, with using a single dual head display rather than using multi-seat is that power management will turn on both screens if one screen is in use. I would rather have only the screens being used being switched on via powermanagement. So, I guess I go back to asking how I setup multi-seat.. I have played with it all day, looking at using kdm and multi-seat display manager (mdm, it doesnt mention anything after ubuntu 8.04) and I cant get either to work with 10.10 on my laptop (although I would of course be looking to implement on 10.04LTS on the server. (btw; the idea is to use a single remote and "it just work" for the users.
