> To fix that, something like comment #3 is needed. Such as looping over
all 'active' units that are PartOf graphical-session.target and stopping
them all.

I think we would only need to "systemctl stop graphical-session.target"
for this, otherwise a unit forgets the PartOf= and that loop would not
work anyway.

just started.

This is similar to waiting for "deactivating" units after
*-session.target goes down. On the systemd sprint we just figured out a
better scheme for this which solves that waiting, does not require this
session ID tracking, and also gets rid of the manual starting of
graphical-session-pre.target: Eventually we just want to declare in
*-session.target that it comes After=graphical-session-pre.target and
have this propagate to the dependencies
(https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/3750). Until then we can just
have a mini-generator do this for us. After we have the Requires/After
=graphical-session-pre.target, then "systemctl stop graphical-session-
pre.target" properly blocks until all "later" units are completely
stopped.

  Sometimes on session start unity-gtk-module.service runs too late or
  something, and $GTK_MODULES does not include "unity". It is in
  "systemctl --user show-environment" but not in a terminal bash.
