Bug#825394: systemd kill background processes after user logs out

While I agree that it would be a good idea to kill the non useful 
remaining processes when a users logs out on a desktop or remote session 
server, the new behavior completely beats the purpose of 
nohup/tmux/screen or any user started daemon.

Actually, if a user logs out and some gnome (for example) related 
processes are not killed, this is more a bug which needs to be solved in 
gnome and not on the whole OS. When you quit gnome, gnome needs to 
ensure its own processes it started on login are killed at logout, but 
not anything that doesn't belong to gnome.
