  Yes, but it looks sloppy to have /etc/rc.d/anything.... Nothing will turn the
Arch devs noses up quicker. I got one for kdebase and a couple of others. Most
of the tde apps will NOT need one since they are launched via .desktop files,
but for the daemons and other things launched via starttrinity or xinit, we may
need one for completeness.

  I'm still working on what does/does NOT need the systemd service files.
Basically, as a rule of thumb, if it was originally packaged with a sysvinit
script in /etc/rc.d/foo then I think we provide a .service.

  I really need a tutorial on what gets "one-shot"'ed, etc.. If you or anyone
has a good link or reference for what the criteria of how service files are
setup for different types of processes, I would welcome the help.

  man systemd.unit does a pretty good job, but it is written with man page
mentality - great for a reference for experienced unit file creators. Maybe not
so good for learning it. There are some useful freedesktop links at the bottom
that help.
