I agree with the above ... I am trying to avoid going down that path.

I think you misunderstood what I meant. The majority of gentoo does not seem to want systemd etc so the devs are currently doing minimal workarounds.

Theres hope, but only so many hours in a day, most of which cant be allocated to creating software or fixes so my systems run in order to earn bread with those other hours :) With LXDE I have a functional desktop, but will it stay that way without systemd integration. I dont want to get into the pro/mostly con systemd flame wars that have sprung up elsewhere, but looking for a simple statement that LXDE will not tie itself to that mess.
