I'll try to make a case for multiseat:

1) It is associated with two of the last 5 question on lightdm present
in

https://launchpad.net/lightdm

today.

2) Multiseat is considered a major benefit of Fedora 17 and Gnome 3.4:

http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/multi-seat.html
http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/3.4/  (see hardware section)

That is, multiseat, is trying to go mainstream specially with pluggable
USB multiseat devices as the one made by pluggable.com.

3) It may have few users because it was never well supported in "plain"
Ubuntu.

For example the following the official Wiki pages for multiseat suggest
that "The predominant display manager of choice has been KDM"
(https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultiseatX). So maybe the users are
just using KDM instead of lightdm.

Easy multiseat would be a very nice addition to Ubuntu as it would allow
for easy and efficient sharing of todays overpowered (for the vast
majority) desktop computers.

Anyhow, I am not sure this is enough to bump up the importance of this
bug.
