I just hoped there was already some standard way to do it. I will figure it 
out on my own then and report back. No problem. ;-)

I'm currently a little bit confused what you mean by login manager... If you 
mean something like lightdm: I'm using that. But I don't want to switch back 
to my login manager to open a remote session into the container. I just want 
to run it from CLI from within my KDE session.

If you mean systemd-logind - I think that is running for me. But I'm pretty 
sure that is not what you mean.
