Description Simon McVittie 2015-09-25 13:25:13 UTC

Mission Control is D-Bus-activated. Under "systemd --user", this results in it being part of the dbus.service cgroup: it is part of dbus for the purposes of things like resource control.

With dbus-daemon 1.10 configured with --enable-user-session, we can do better: a systemd user service will result in it being placed in its own cgroup.

This also allows avoiding Bug #53220 without resorting to the mc-wait-for-name tool.

Add a systemd user service corresponding to the D-Bus session service

This lets Mission Control run in its own cgroup.

As a bonus, systemd activation doesn't have to resort to hacks like
mc-wait-for-name, because systemd understands the concept of a
systemd service that maps to multiple D-Bus service names, and will
only start it once.

[Gabble] Add a systemd user service

This puts telepathy-gabble in its own cgroup, instead of being a
child process of dbus-daemon in the dbus.service cgroup.

The equivalent for telepathy-gabble. I'm not going to go round all the other CMs doing the same, but another contributor could, if someone wants to.

Are there any plans to merge this?

(and to add the systemd .service files for the other CM?)
