Ok, there has been some misunderstanding. I meant with "creating a
seat" the starting of a seperate session, with or without login.
You mean something else: the tags for a seat are set in udev.

Ok, when logind sends out a message (after seat added or removed) it's
up to the services like gdm(?) what to do with it: use it as docking
station or to start a new session (eg a real seat) ( when it comes to
adding).
