Yeah, the only way we could easily do this is by modifying
xfce4-session into starting Xfce with 'systemd-inhibit ....'

We can't modify default configs of other packages. 
Well, we could in the spin, but that would leave anyone installing from
the dvd or the repos after install hosed, so I think it's not a good
idea.

Yeah, the long term is to get xfce4-power-manager able to inhibt
systemd if it's running on a system using it.
