And is that loginctl command supposed to work only on systems that use systemd 
throughout or elsewhere too? `loginctl kill-session X` works for me but not 
`loginctl lock-session X` or `loginctl unlock-session X`, is that because Ubuntu 
14.04 only pretends to use systemd and (AFAIK) uses upstart for most things?
