ugh

this is starting to duplicate almost all the functionality that I've put in
xorg-launch-helper and user-session-units.

Not to mention the code looks... well, pretty much the same as we've
had in uxlaunch/user-session for almost 3 years. Some attribution would
be nice.

But aside from that, we should not let that go much further. Working
besides each other is just silly. (although I'll flat-out refuse to work
with CMake, sorry).

That's cool. We certainly will want to make that work for other desktops
as well. Standardization should be key here.
