AFAIK, systemd does not (yet) support multi-session correctly - but this is
mostly irrelevant, unless you want to use dbus.

Anyway, I don't think this is supported at all - what would be the expected
behaviour when you run the same browser profile on both tty1 and tty2 ?
What would happen when file conflict arises (same profile means both instances
use the same directory for data)?
