Thanks for the confirmation. I pushed the revert to systemd-git so 209
will contain the fix. I will take care that it gets marked as fix for
208, too.

Regarding gdm: I guess we cannot rely on CanMultiSession here. It's to
risky that we break some other application. But maybe we can allow
desktop-managers to modify the CanMultiSession property. So if they
explicitly set it to 1 (which we don't do for seats without VTs), we
activate the new logic.

Thanks
David
