Bug Description

[Impact]
Old configuration no longer has an effect but user is not given information so they can remove it.

[Test Case]
1. Add login-load-seats=true into lightdm.conf
2. Run LightDM
3. Check /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log

Expected result:
A warning should be there that this option is no longer required.

Observed result:
No warning is shown.

[Regression potential]
Low. The change just checks for presence of an option and generates a log message.

The same should apply to "xdg-seat=seatXXXX" options.

summary: - LightDM 1.12+ should emit a warning about "logind-load-seats=true"
- option
+ LightDM 1.12+ should emit a warning about "logind-load-seats=true" and
+ "xdg-seat=seatXXXX" option

This bug was fixed in the package lightdm - 1.15.1-0ubuntu1

---------------
lightdm (1.15.1-0ubuntu1) wily; urgency=medium

  * New upstream release:
    - Fix default X server command set to XMir in 1.15.0.
    - Internally merge the [SeatDefaults] and [Seat:*] sections together. The
      previous method meant configuration snippets using a mix of old and new
      naming would not correctly override eachother.
    - Use IP address of XDMCP requests to contact X server if available.
      (LP: #1481561)
    - Add an option for XDMCP and VNC servers to only listen on one address.
      (LP: #1390808)
    - Fix configuration file warnings so they go to the log, not stderr.
    - Warn if deprecated options logind-load-seats or xdg-seat are in
      configuration. (LP: #1468057)
    - Improve IP addresses in XDMCP log messages.
    - Fix typo in dm-tool man page. (LP: #1470587)
