Thanks Thiago,

I just posted v3, which has some rough support to run `startkde` under all
this, which should run just fine (but I admit, not yet tested myself).

In the long run I'd like to split out all the components that KDE (and the other
desktops too) into real, independent service units so that we can rely on
e.g. socket or dbus activation for the ones that it matters.

The short term effort however is to get people to test systemd user
sessions, since there's almost nobody out there using all this functionality.

So, testers appreciated - feel free to ping me personally if you have issues
getting this to work.
