Here are my user session units. I have a few dbus activated examples https://github.com/mmonaco/systemd-user-session I have one target for an i3 session and another for an openbox/cairo-dock session. I can freely switch between them without losing my active windows. I'll be testing gnome-3.8 soon so I'll be adding something that uses gnome-session. _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
