Cool, I'll have a peak as soon as I can.

It's much more involved than that. It causes problems when booting with
our current X version if it's enabled regardless of init (it might
actually have worked fine when booting in sysvinit mode - if it was
clever about things which it should be I guess!)

Enabling systemd support here enables proper seat enumeration in X, but
our X11 server is too old to support the --seat argument and it's too
late in the day to even think about changing it! Basically it prevents X
starting which certainly isn't fun! When cauldron reopens after mga2 we
can upgrade X and enable full support (and start ripping the old things
out which will be lovely :D)

This isn't really this issue in this case.

But over all, I've been using gdm like this for a good few days now and
it seems fine (tho' I think lock screen background might be messed up
now, but that should be fixable)
