- How are seat ids chosen if not explicitly specified, for example when 
using gdmdynamic or for XDMCP sessions?

It appears that there is some persistent state associated with seats via 
seat-ids. Currently this is the case through ck-history, but the display 
manager may maintain more per-seat state in the future. If seat-ids for 
dynamic seats are simply assigned using linear numbering, that will 
cause spurious association of data across unrelated seats.

- What are the constraints for the SEAT-ID argument?

For the same reason as in the previous item, a client like Sun Ray will 
want to use seat ids that do reflect their internal notion of client 
identity.

The API documentation says that a seat ID is a DBus object path, but all 
the sample tool output uses names like 'Seat1' to identify the seat.
