multiseat

i'm trying to make a multiseat with ubuntu, but a cant make this work. I've read a lot of "how to", and the most of then is about to do a multiseat with some distro with GDM2, or KDM. But, i'm using the lightdm of ubuntu. So now i'm trying to make this multiseat with Xephyr that i already used to make a multiseat with the Debian 4 version. But i dont know how to call Xephyr in lightdm.conf. Sorry for my totally crap english.
