[systemd-devel] Should systemd-logind provide a DM-independent specification for per seat autologin settings and others?

[Laércio Benedito Sivali de Sousa]

Hi guys!

With systemd-logind, we finally have a "canonical" way to implement
multiseat in Linux. As current display managers implement completely
logind's protocol for automatic multiseat support, per seat configuration
in these DMs is almost unneeded.

However, even with complete automatic multiseat support, some per seat
settings are still valuable in DMs, namely:

* Autologin settings for each seat: enable/disable, set user/password, set
autologin delay.
* Customize display server (X, Mir, Wayland/Weston) command line for each
seat.

I wonder if logind should provide a common DM-agnostic specification for
such settings (via udev rules, logind.conf or whatever).

What do you think about it?
