LightDM's dm-tool command can be used to allow multiple users to be logged in
on separate ttys. The following will send a signal requesting that the current
session be locked and then will initiate a switch to LightDM's greeter,
allowing a new user to log in to the system.
$ dm-tool switch-to-greeter
Looks promising.
