Yep, its the same, but when I tried to restore as a regular user (which
I normally don't do) it complained about the .lock file and restored to
some strange values which involved so much feedback that I had to go to
a root window and restore again. The strange thing is that I had no
problems like this under openrc, so I wonder what systemd is doing and
how I can get around it.
