Description Ray Strode [halfline] 2015-03-31 01:55:21 UTC 
By default systemd will kill the entire control-group in one fell
swoop. The problem is, things don't get shutdown in the right
order then, and there's a race where GDM will begin restarting
X servers as soon as they're killed.

This commit tells systemd to just kill the main GDM process, and
let it handle killing all its children on its own.

systemd: change to KillMode=mixed

This is like the previous commit, but a slightly better choice,
because it's more fault tolerant; if GDM fails to kill a child,
systemd will help out.
