There is such an error in the log (gnome-settings-daemon:3566): media-keys-plugin-WARNING **: Failed to connect to systemd: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.login1: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1 . My attempt to switch to systemd have ended first in a kernel panic, then in a freeze during boot (investigating).
Yet, as far as I understand, Debian is not committed to systemd (which does not support BSD). If true, this gnome dependency to systemd should be viewed as a problem.
