I don't think so. This would mean the unit would still be alive even
although the main process died and when I next tried to open a
gnome-terminal, it would try and speak to the dbus service again and
then dbus would try and spawn it but systemd would say "it's already
running" and not actually run a new gnome-terminal-server process.

I've not tried this in practice, but I think the above is the expected
behaviour here.

I think it will stick around, but so far I've not really been testing it
much in terms of clean logout/log back in again. Just that it "runs" OK :)

If it does keep running then this is somewhat moot, but nice to know
tmux has a solution :)
