OK. Thank you for explanation. The important thing here is making
autologin user setting independent of DISPLAY value, as LightDM already
does, right?

Title:
  Add basic systemd-logind multiseat support

Status in Light Display Manager:
  In Progress
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  systemd-logind is arrising to replace ConsoleKit in several Linux
  distributions (Fedora, Archlinux, Mageia, etc.). It fills the lack of
  proper multiseat support in ConsoleKit, which is being slowly
  deprecated.

  At the moment, only GDM 3.4+ is fully compatible with systemd-logind,
  which makes it difficult to configure multiseat for other desktop
  environments than GNOME, specially those suitable for non-accelerated
  graphics, like XFCE and LXDE.

  LightDM is becoming the default login manager for such lightweight
  DEs, and it will improve greatly the multiseat support in these
  systems when it's fully systemd-logind compliant.

  I believe that, for the moment, both ConsoleKit and systemd-logind
  support could coexist in LightDM code.
