Version: 0.4.5-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I've got Debian Sid configured in a multiseat situation, with 2 gpu's/screens/mice/keyboards.
This setup works.

DE of choice is XFCE.
Login manager is lightdm

When one user logs in, consolekit correctly tags the session as local and active:
Session3:
        unix-user = '1001'
        realname = 'User1'
        seat = 'Seat1'
        session-type = ''
        active = TRUE
        x11-display = ':1'
        x11-display-device = '/dev/tty8'
        display-device = ''
        remote-host-name = ''
        is-local = TRUE
        on-since = '2011-12-09T10:05:33.260932Z'
        login-session-id = '4294967295'

Now, second user logs into other seat, and this session is marked local and not active
Session4:
        unix-user = '1000'
        realname = 'User2'
        seat = 'Seat1'
        session-type = ''
        active = FALSE
        x11-display = ':0'
        x11-display-device = '/dev/tty7'
        display-device = ''
        remote-host-name = ''
        is-local = TRUE
        on-since = '2011-12-09T10:05:48.215295Z'
        login-session-id = '4294967295'

causing nothing that needs policykit (shutdown/usb mounting/...) to work.

Expected result: both sessions should be marked active and local. Perhaps this has
to do with the seat name being the same on both? (they're named differently in xorg.conf)

If user2 now logs out, and logs in again, then user1's active session will be marked inactive
and user2 will get the active session.
