I'm against that. It will only make things complicated for nothing. If
the service only loads the objects if they apply (status icon, dpms
etc) and quits after a while if the user only 'queried' the shutdown
permissions (ie. there is a difference if Xfpm was started from
desktop file or as service), there are no reasons for extra compile
options.
