Just my 2 cents

What I am about to say is not a judgement on you, but just because you might not find a feature useful does not mean that someone else doesn't. Perhaps the majority of the Linux programmer culture does not, but that does not mean that it is never used. Multi-seat logins are very useful in situations where users do not understand how to run X11 applications with different user permissions. It is an easy mechanism that is familiar to users from other systems coming over to Linux. You don't have to have it installed on your copy, but having an option is not a bad thing.
