What you want with the inactive user versus the active one, does not 
work with multiseat.
In that situation more users are active.

With a usb stick connected, there are various situations possible:

a. one user ¨owns¨ the device, and it´s mounted by him/her, others don´t 
have access (mounted at /run/media/$USER somewhere)

b. a device is shared using a public user. (mounted at /media/somewhere)

The suggested solution in the patch above (by introducing the 
UDISKS_FILESYSTEM_SHARED) is a good step to handle these situations.

And when another user wants to own the device, they should agree the 
first should unmount it, and let others have to ability to ¨grap¨ it.
