Looking now: * uselessd is unmaintained, based on an old fork of systemd, actively hates things I don't care about, aims to replace systemd and not just logind * nosh: doesn't implement the login1 d-bus interface * Ubuntu logind shim: Couldn't find information about this. Ubuntu uses systemd now so this isn't a way forward for Guix. I like systemd so I don't have many motivations of anti-systemd people :) I'm cool with DMD too, don't really care to be honest. But logind interfaces seem to pervade a lot of GNOME, so I'm happy to just take systemd's implementation and hack it into a standalone thing. Andy
