I agree that enabling user units without providing a working
configuration probably doesn't make much sense - it was meant as
convenience, but mpd starting without being explicitly enabled by the
has caused confusion more than once. Not sure what to do about the XDG
autostart file though...

oops, thanks for the heads up! Not sure when that one got lost...
