I don't use systemd, but AFAICS both LFS-systemd and BLFS-systemd
install in /usr. What are these two directories to which you refer ?

Looking at my (old) files, I think you need to invoke dbus-launch if
the WM/DE doesn't already do that. Your comments suggest that your
lxde system doesn't do that, so it really ought to be in whatever
gets read (.xinitrc for startx, typically .xsession for graphical
logins). In the past, I've symlinked .xinitrc as .xsession so that
I could use graphical logins, but I've long-since stopped using
graphical logins.
