    Please don't get me wrong, but I think that if systemd "makes" me
either use it to replace my existing init system or not at all, then I
think it is **very** broken...

    Why does it need to be that particular value? If it **must** be
that one, then why have this variable?

    I guessed it, but I don't know how to convince it to do so...

    I think I'll give it a rest for a while until the `--user` gets more stable.

    Thanks for the help,
