systemd certainly does offer something here. It's related to what
processes are considered to belong to a "session", it came in with
version 230, and there was quite a stink about it from people who
wanted this not to happen, at the time:

It seems that the Debian Xsession setup does start a systemd --user
service. I've never tried to use it for this purpose.
