Bug#867710: systemd don't stop user processes reliable on logout, even with KillUserProcesses=yes

ok - maybe more clear:
* have a session running
* have some applications and user processes open
* end the session
* when logged out, check running processes
* be not happy about finding some processes that run with the logged out
user as owner
  even if KillUserProcesses=Yes is set.

And the worst case is if a application appear on your login screen,
running on the logged out user  - in this case firefox or not so often
audacious. Will try to make a real photo of it next time it happends.

I have seen this behaviour some times ago, it stopped with setting
KillUserProcesses=Yes. But now this behaviour is back and i'm not so
lucky about. As discussed in the list it is intended that
KillUserProcesses=Yes really kills all user processes when a user end
his session. Hope it is now more clear.
