you HAVE to accept the current behaviour as normal - Caveat Emptor!
Umm... I don't know where you're trying to go with this but I'm not
interested in a philosophical debate.
The fact I only get a desktop after a lock/unlock cycle is a symptom and
I'm not sure if it has anything to do with systemd thinking it needs to
shut the computer down or not. It's not a critical system so I'm not
terribly interested in band-aids either but troubleshooting ideas are
welcome.
Thanks,
Richard
