After using my new setup, described in comment #23 above for the whole
day I have some interesting news: whenever X restart in the second seat,
the first seat is kicked out to a black screen and to go back to the its
graphical interface I need to type ALT-F7.

This fact explain the problem I was seeing when the seats start, as X
for second seat is called after X for the first seat.

Unfortunately this makes the day-to-day use of a newer lightdm much more
annoying than I originally thought, as the first seat can be kicked out
to the black screen many times a day.

Even worse, at least twice, when the second seat closed the section the
transition of the first seat to the black screen resulted in X crashing,
completely closing the section for the fist seat (and then ALT-F7 would
take you a to a login screen). This is a very bad behavior as it can
easily lead to data loss for the first seat user.
