+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)
