BTW, I have some more multi-seat hardware to give away to folks who want to add true automatic multi-seat to stuff like display managers.
It's a USB box that will give you an VGA/DVI port + audio, plus connectors for kbd/mouse. So you just need to connect a display, mouse and keyboard to it, and then plug it into your existing machine and should have a second seat wihout any configuration. This works out-of-the-box for GNOME/gdm systems. If you guys want to make this work for KDE too, then I can pass you that hardware. It's free, you can keep it, but I'd preferably like to send this to Europe only.
It's hardware you can use to implement this stuff:

(This offer stands for everybody who hacks on things like this, regardless which desktop environment you hack on.)

Thanks for the offer! Even though I'd love to have the device for my personal use, it won't be necessary. I have borrowed one of the devices in our office to write basic multi-seat support for KDM, so you can distribute it to other folks who'd want to add the support to other DMs.
Hmm, any chance you can connect me with somebody from the KDE community who might need such a device and would do something nice with it? Somebody who wants to work on some display manager, or maybe on some graphical tool to reconfigure seats or so?
I am trying so hard to be nice to the KDE community, but nobody wants my presents! ;-)
