I guess what Ed would want here is one of the following (because it seems
switch-to-greeter indeed won't get it):

 add-nested-seat
        Start an X server inside a session and connect it to a display manager.

 add-local-x-seat DISPLAY_NUMBER
        Connect an existing X server to the display manager.

 add-seat TYPE [NAME=VALUE...]
        Add a dynamic seat.

Apparently poorly documented (like what is TYPE?):
