Hi there

I have been working in KSMServer, mostly doing some refactoring in order to 
split the X11 code (session management) into its own process.

The part I am splitting out right now (startup.cpp, startup.h) has a lot of 
specific code for "Launching the Window Management" and that is the reason of 
this email.

Right now KSMServer executes the WM before anything else, once the WM is 
started (process is executed), other things are done (Autostart0).

My idea for KWin is for it to handle startup by itself, and idea of how to do 
that:

-Leverage systemd when available.
-startkde.sh

For this to happen we need to make sure that KWin does not talk synchronously 
to any component that might or might not be there when KWin starts (kded, 
klauncher...).

What do you think?

Cheers!
