Thanks a ton for tracking this down. It explains why some KDE users
have not seen their situation improve from the recent cgmanager fixes.
That said, systemd-shim is really not the place to fix this. Instead,
implement a "have_logind" function to replace the version check for
195. For the v198 check, I do not know what to do, but it should
definitely be done on the KDE side of this.
Best wishes,
