MultiSeat (KDE5) Kubuntu how to set up?

Question

linux

Good time.
Before that, I had LinuxMint 16 with KDE and set everything up there, I decided to move to a more recent version, but Mint 18 with KDE upset me with its buggy, Kubuntu 18.04 works fine, I decided to move to it and set up MultiSeat but there is no MDM which I more or less familiar and completely unfamiliar SDDM.
I'm trying to set it up, if everything is clear with the X11 config, then I can't figure it out with SDDM
There is an idea to put MDM in the place of SDDM, but I'm not sure what will work.
I would be grateful for help and advice)
X11 config /etc/X11/xorg.conf

FILE /etc/local.d/startup.start

startup.start

modprobe kvm
modprobe radeon
modprobe amdgpu
modprobe kvm-intel
modprobe  snd-hda-intel
modprobe pcspkr
sh /boot/twin.sh

startup.start must have run permissions. You also need to make a symbolic link to /etc/runlevels/default/startup.start
Running modules from this file is up to you.
And the most important one is /boot/twin.sh (also with launch rights)

twin.sh

#!/bin/bash
cmd1="/bin/bash --login -c \"/usr/bin/xinit --"
cmd2="-nolisten tcp -keeptty -novtswitch -config xorg.multiseat.conf"
usr=(user1 user2)  # Пользователи user1, user2 должны иметь реальный user id, а так же домашний каталог
declare -a pid
while true ; do
  for ((i=0; i<${#usr[*]}; i++)) ; do
    echo "usr[$i]=${usr[$i]} pid=${pid[$i]}"
    if [ -z "${pid[$i]}" ] || [ ! -d "/proc/${pid[$i]}" ] ; then
      # echo "pid ${pid[$i]} killed, execute again"
      cmd3="-layout seat$i vt0"$((7+i))"\""
      if [ $i -gt 0 ] ; then
        cmd3="-sharevts $cmd3"
      fi
      #echo "cmd3=$cmd3"
      /bin/su ${usr[$i]} -l -c "$cmd1 :$i $cmd2 $cmd3" &
      pid[$i]=$!
      #echo "new pid=${pid[$i]}"
    fi
  done
  sleep 5  # check process exist per 5 second
done

Where in the fourth line "usr=( user1 user2 )" the usernames are listed WITH a space.
Yes, in the .xinputrc files of the home directories there should be lines to launch the desired WM / DE (I have icewm). Like this:
IMPORTANT: DON'T FORGET TO REMOVE the link to SDDM from runlevels (or disable the service via sysctl).
