shortly after saying this, I have to stick my foot in my mouth because this averts a start-up bug for USC.

In investigating the problem that mterry was having with U-S-C today, it turns out what was going on was that we started the compositor when unity starts, and then later powerd will send us the first power on signal, and ignoring double-on calls averts the crash.

So I'll re-propose for now as a band-aid. The proper solution is to give USC/unity8 a class they can tinker with to turn the display server on and off.
