Socket file found at socket path /run/seatd.sock, refusing to start

Command 'ls -l' on /etc/seatd* showed that /run/seatd.sock is  owned by root  and  video group. User is in video group,yet I still get 'Socket file found at socket path /run/seatd.sock, refusing to start' after running 'seatd-launch dwl'. That message is not really telling me much.

Presumably it means that there is a seatd running that uses that socket pathname.
