‘%gdm-activation’ would throw an exception if the “gdm” user didn’t
exist, so apparently it’s run before the activation snippet of
‘account-service-type’ (the ordering guarantee is not explicit.)
Hmm I wonder what I’m missing then. Would you like to try again?
Now, I think we should generalize this chown thing and apply it to all
the user accounts. ‘user-homes’ would chown recursively if needed or
use the newfangled shiftfs, like systemd-homed does¹.
Thoughts?
Ludo’.
