It's still getting stuck with Type=simple. http://s.natalian.org/2015-03-27/simple.png Isn't there a better way to debug than running journalctl -u <service> -f in parallel?

What's the big deal about passing in the DISPLAY environment? I don't see the point of having a non-root user. Trying to keep things as simple as possible to achieve my use case.

Well, if X wasn't up up, I was hoping Restart=always would do the rest. > [1]: man systemd.service > [2]: man systemd.timer Timers seem like a kluge, just to know when X is ready.
