hello,

I have a working multiseat desktop, I just have a slight issue with it
: one of my keyboard has a uk layout, seat0 and that's the default for
the system, the other seat1 has a french keyboard.
before 1.15 I think I used to have a xorg.seat1.conf that contained :

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Keyboard1"
        Driver          "evdev"
        Option          "Device"
"/dev/input/by-id/usb-Dell_Dell_QuietKey_Keyboard-event-kbd"
        Option          "XkbLayout"     "fr"
EndSection

with loginctl now in charge of adding keyboards to appropriate seat, I
don't know whhare I could specify that.

➜  ~  loginctl seat-status seat1
seat1
        Sessions: *c2
