It may be that the user service manager in systemd supports D-Bus socket
activation, but none of the user services provided in the systemd package
seem to start logind, so I don't think you'll get that service started
that way.  I'm only seeing systemd-exit and systemd-tmpfiles.

Also, I'm not sure what would start the user service manager if you're not
running systemd as PID 1.
