Otherwise, any patches/bugreports must be coordinated downstream, which I really dislike.
Reason for pushing this into KDM is that:
a) KDM is here today and will stay for some time
b) this patch has been tested thoroughly
c) alternative DMs are not up to the job yet (SDDM) or introduce additional dependencies (GDM)
d) I want multiseat support in the DM now, not in a distant future</pre>

anyway, you'll understand that my motivation to invest effort into this is kinda low, time constraints notwithstanding.
i may reconsider if i see credible support for such a patch from multiple downstreams here.

They are maintenance releases, but releases all the same. So yes, upstreaming this would see the light of day as a 4.11.x release.</pre>

long term support, not purely maintenance; the idea is to have a limited-changes, maintained version of the desktop shell based on Qt4 while we move to Qt5 and all that brings with it. the 4.11 branch needs to remain usable and relevant over that time period otherwise the purpose is defeated. if distributions migrate to systemd (which they obviously are) and there are quality downstream patches to improve integration there, it makes sense to fold those into the long term release branch.
"i can make an initial review as time permits."
that would be awesome and greatly appreciated.
cheers ...</pre>

In openSUSE it will appear as part of the KDE:Release:4.12 and KDE:Release:4.13 addon repos, and will be included in openSUSE 13.2, due in august.</pre>

http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/writing-display-managers/
In case systemd is no found at compile time, nothing changes. If logind is not running, nothing changes. If no additional seats have been configured (some Plugable USB-GPUs are automatically added as additional seats), nothing changes.
In case there are additional seats beyond seat0, a reserved display is promoted to a local static one (and demoted if the seat is removed) and a new X-Server/greeter is spawned.
The code has been tested extensively, with a combination of [Radeon dedicated GPU|Intel iGPU], [Intel iGPU|Displaylink USB GPU] and others. For history of this patch, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=884271 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=975079</pre>
