No, unless you select them it will ignore them.  The problem is that
when I pasted the script, some of the lines wrapped, and so the wrapped
portion is out of context and generates errors.  Here is a version
pasted without wrap.  If you select lightdm as the started service, you
will have to change the switch-to-user to be your username instead of
mine.
