Does systemd run startx before starting DisplayManager ? If systemd doesn't run startx, how can I hook my script ?

@Tomas : You asked a question suggesting two methods. My answer stands for your first option. Which will indeed need something to launch startx. Does systemd / yourDM use startx ? Well… I cannot tell… I use none of them. I personally fire startx from some tty to get directly into my DE thanks to dbus. I'd be anyhow greatly surprised that whatever the way followed… the X server is not launched by the xserverrc script. It would just break many well established standards.
