   Methods
       Terminate() and ActivateSession() work similar to
       TerminateSeat(), ActivationSessionOnSeat() on the Manager object.

       SwitchTo() switches to the session on the virtual terminal vtnr.
       SwitchToNext() and SwitchToPrevious() switch to, respectively,
       the next and previous sessions on the seat in the order of
       virtual terminals. If there is no active session, they switch to,
       respectively, the first and last session on the seat.

   Signals
       Whenever ActiveSession, Sessions, CanGraphical, CanTTY, or the
       idle state changes, PropertyChanged signals are sent out to which
       clients can subscribe.

   Properties
       The Id property encodes the ID of the seat.

       ActiveSession encodes the currently active session if there is
       one. It is a structure consisting of the session id and the
       object path.

       CanTTY encodes whether the session is suitable for text logins,
       and CanGraphical whether it is suitable for graphical sessions.

       The Sessions property is an array of all current sessions of this
       seat, each encoded in a structure consisting of the ID and the
       object path.

       The IdleHint, IdleSinceHint, and IdleSinceHintMonotonic
       properties encode the idle state, similar to the ones exposed on
       the Manager object, but specific for this seat.
