[ConsoleKit] Feature request: Specify SeatID

I guess we'd need to fail the call in that case.

Sounds reasonable, alternatively, we could add a prefix to manually
specified names.

We probably want to make sure seats stay in the ConsoleKit object path
namespace,
so relataive seems like that best plan.

Seems like a good idea.

Probably should use studly capped prefix for namespacing so we don't
have introspection issues on intermediate object path components.
