I had the same problem with kdm (or at least very similar, don't remember
the exact error message). 

I made a native systemd unit file which fixes the problem for me. Jaroslav,
if you want to try it, it's at https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=754314 
(unfortunately w/o any feedback from KDE maintainers since 5 weeks)
